Answer

I am advised that the budget for direct operational costs associated with the Carbon Neutral Government Programme is $0.02 million for the 2026 calendar year. This excludes staff costs relating to Corrections’ overall sustainability work. I am further advised that the capital budget in relation to the electric vehicle and boiler replacement programme is $12.35 million for the 2026 calendar year.
