Answer

I am advised that the operational costs associated with the Carbon Neutral Government Programme, such as the emissions verification fee, were $0.03 million in the 2025/26 financial year. I am further advised that in relation to the Capital Plan, Corrections spent $6.0 million on electric vehicles, installation of electric vehicle charging infrastructure and boiler replacement programmes in the 2025/26 financial year.
