In 2011-12, the estimate of expenditure of New South Wales Government funds on Heritage activities fell 4% to $614.0m. This fall was largely attributable to decreases in expenditure on Environmental heritage and Archives of $60.4m and $7.4m respectively. However, the overall decrease was partially offset by an increase of $33.5m in expenditure in Other museums and cultural heritage.
