Conservation Act 1987

Miscellaneous

33: Receipts

You could also call this:

“Money given to help conservation goes into a special bank account.”

When the government gets money under the Conservation Act, you need to know it goes into a special bank account. This account is either a Crown Bank Account, the Department’s Departmental Bank Account, or a Trust Bank Account, and it is paid in accordance with the Public Finance Act 1989.

You can give money to the Minister for specific or general purposes of this Act, and the Minister can accept this money.

If you give money to the Minister, it goes into a Trust Bank Account called the Department of Conservation Grants and Gifts Trust Account, which is established under section 67 of the Public Finance Act 1989, and is used for the purpose you intended.
