Answer
The Environmental Protection Authority incurred actual costs of $7,013 on the carbon neutral government programme in the 2025 calendar year. This included membership and certification costs. The Ministry for the Environment' s actual spend on the carbon neutral government programme in the 2025 calendar year was $221,415. I am advised this information has been collated from actual spend records and covers part of two financial reporting periods.
