When asked about the reasons for over-spending in the fourth quarter 2010/11, the PoWC submitted that some projects were slightly behind schedule in the third quarter and therefore spending had to be increased in the fourth quarter to complete the projects and to utilise the available funds. This was mainly caused by Junior LandCare projects that could not be conducted in the third quarter due to a change in the school programme. Another contributing factor mentioned was the continuation of some alien cleaning projects that could only take place in the fourth quarter due to flooding after heavy rains in the third quarter.
