A Queensland government project to digitise court and police reports is set to exceed its budget by $800,000 after taking a year longer than expected.  

The Queensland Corrective Services initiative was originally anticipated to cost over $550,000 but that figure has been revised to $1.35 million.

The aim of the upgrade is to transfer court and police records online, as the Queensland Corrective Services has been previously working with a paper-based manual system.
