192 Defence 2013-14 Budget 3.2percent, which over the last decade has consistently represented in excess of 90percent of total defence expenditure. The decline in consumption expenditure is likely to reflect the effect of the relocation of a significant number of 7RAR personnel from RobertsonBarracks to South Australia during 2010-11. Partially offsetting this decline was a 17.9percent increase in investment spending, which reflects the construction of the final stage of infrastructure projects such as the RAAFBase Darwin Redevelopment Stage 2. The Territorys share of national defence spending declined from 5.5percent in 2010-11 to 5.0percent in 2011-12. This reflects strong growth in national expenditure on defence (8.2percent) and a decline in defence expenditure in the Territory of 2.2percent over the same period.
