This document details APRA's plant hire and maintenance expenditures for its Sydney and Melbourne offices across three financial years (2023-2025), responding to FOI Request 26-12. The disclosure shows spending on indoor plants managed through The Trustee for Green Design Unit Trust, with total costs of $30,375 (2025), $33,115 (2024), and $32,506 (2023). Vendor costs are itemized, including Rentokil Initial (Ambius) at $191 (2025), down from $2,196 (2024). APRA states these plants support compliance with the National Australian Built Environment Rating System (NABER) requirements for contemporary government buildings and promote employee health and wellbeing. This is an administrative/operational disclosure rather than a prudential supervision matter.
