Answer

I am advised that the Department of Conservation has budgeted $14,000 (excluding GST) for the Carbon Neutral Government Programme in the 2025/26 financial year. I am further advised that, for context, this figure does not include any staffing and operational costs, which are not separately budgeted for in this work and are instead covered from departmental baselines.
