Answer

I am advised that approximately $11,100 of storage costs have been incurred to date to uplift and store furniture and equipment repurposed from the New Zealand Transport Agency for the Ministry for Cities, Environment, Regions and Transport (MCERT) to date. This cost was incurred by the Ministry of Business, Innovation, and Employment (which the Government Property Office is a part of). This cost will be recouped from MCERT as part of the fit-out project, after the budget is approved.
