  1. All models are expected value only; there is no parameter uncertainty
  2. Dollars are NZ$, for the year 2011. All costs and benefits discounted at 3 % per annum. All values rounded to three meaningful decimal places
  3. aNote that these results differ slightly from those in Table 3 due to not including uncertainty about parameters (due to long run time of models). Results in Table 3 are the preferred results, but the results in this table should be compared to this expected value analysis result which used the same modelling strategy
