Answer

The Performance Plan for Vote Environment outlines the cost pressures for the Vote. The latest updated Plan was provided to central agencies on 8 July 2025. I refer the Member to the Minister of Foreign Affairs’ response to WPQ 26800 (2026) for advice provided by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
