| New DEL | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Change | Voted | Non-voted | Total | |

| Total | 1,735 | 213,806 | 0 | 213,806 |
*Depreciation, which forms part of resource DEL, is excluded from the total DEL since capital DEL includes capital spending and to include depreciation of those assets would lead to double counting.

There is no change to the capital element of the DEL.
