6.1 OVERVIEW OF 2009-10 BUDGET FUNDED CAPITAL WORKS
Highlights of the 2009-10 Capital Works Program
The Territory’s Capital Works Program is a component of the Total New Capital Initiatives.  Capital Works relates to fixed physical infrastructure.
The 2009-10 Budget provides for a significant investment program of Capital Works across the Territory.  Substantial new infrastructure will support the growth of the city, while ongoing capital upgrades ensure the existing asset base is well maintained.  Quality infrastructure is an essential component to the delivery of services to the community.  Significant projects and programs funded in the 2009-10 Budget include:
•	Gungahlin Drive Duplication;
•	Enhanced Belconnen Health Centre;
•	Emergency Services Agency – Specialist Outdoor Training Centre and Helicopter Base;
•	Gungahlin Enclosed Oval;
•	Accelerating Replacing Stormwater Drains with Wetlands;
•	Inner South Library;
•	Casey – Clarrie Hermes Drive Extension to the Barton Highway; 
•	Historic Places Major Project;
•	Forde – Mulligans Flat Road Extension and Water Quality Control Pond;
•	Canberra International Arboretum and Gardens – Forest Planting;
•	Harrison High School;
•	Canberra College (Woden Campus) Performing Arts Theatre;
•	Shopping Centre Upgrade Program – Red Hill and Lyons;
•	Canberra CBD Upgrade Program; and
•	Bruce – Braybrooke Street Extension.
The Budget not only invests in new projects, but continues to invest in maintaining and improving the Territory’s existing infrastructure by providing $44.3 million of funding for the 2009-10 Capital Upgrades Program.
Over and above the ACT’s significant capital investment, the Commonwealth’s Nation Building and Jobs plan and Roads programs provide substantial investment in our schools, housing and transport infrastructure. 
An additional $5 million in maintenance funding is also allocated in the 2009-10 Budget.  Further detail of repairs and maintenance works associated with this allocation is provided in Chapter 5.2.
Capital Works Program at a Glance
•	Total value of the 2009-10 New Works Program is $803.7 million over four years.
•	Total cash provided in 2009-10 for New Works and Works-in-Progress (WIP) is $735.1 million:
•	total cash provided for New Works in 2009-10 is $349.7 million; and
•	total cash provided to continue WIP in 2009-10 is $385.4 million.
•	This is the largest capital works program since self-government.
The total cash provided for New Works and WIP is considerably higher than previous budgets.  This is due to large investments in the New Works Program supplemented by funds from the Commonwealth Government, as well as a large WIP Program, from the significant investments made by the Government in previous budgets.

Feasibility Studies 
The Feasibility Study component of the 2009-10 New Works Program has a total value of $1.740 million, all financed in 2009-10.
Feasibility studies recognise the longer lead times involved in major construction activities and provide agencies with the capacity to undertake preliminary feasibility and policy development work associated with larger, more complex proposals.  Feasibility studies also provide a framework for a more comprehensive assessment of the viability of options and alternatives, including linkages to the Government’s service delivery objectives.
Table 6.1.2 outlines the feasibility studies programs.

The 2009-10 Budget invests in forward design projects to the value of $7.2 million, with financing of $4.8 million provided in 2009-10 and $2.4 million in 2010-11.
Formal planning and design of large infrastructure projects allows for detailed specifications and scope to be fully developed and helps mitigate potential risk associated with delays and/or cost escalations during the construction phase of a project.

Capital Upgrades Program
The 2009-10 Capital Upgrades Program was announced as part of the Appropriation Act 2008-09 (No 3) – The Local Initiatives Package.  Capital upgrades include works that extend the useful life or improve the service delivery capacity of existing Territory assets.  Upgrade funding is distinct from routine maintenance.
Funding for capital upgrades is provided to agencies annually with indicative allocations included in their forward estimates.  This allows agencies to better prioritise and manage their upgrade programs according to asset management needs and plans. 
Funding of $44.281 million has been allocated in 2009-10 for capital upgrades. 
Table 6.1.6 below outlines the 2009-10 capital upgrades program, by agency and, where available, by program or type of works.

•	Supreme Court Roof Replacement and Air Conditioning Systems Upgrade ($1.3 million) – delay due to project scoping issues.
