6.1 OVERVIEW OF 2008-09 BUDGET FUNDED CAPITAL WORKS
Highlights of the 2008‑09 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 2008‑09 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.  Significant projects and programs funded in the 2008‑09 Budget include:
•	Women’s and Children’s Hospital;
•	Adult Mental Health Inpatient Facility;
•	Secure Adult Mental Health Unit;
•	New Gungahlin Health Centre;
•	Establishment of Regional and Community Facilities and Local Community Centres; 
•	New Belconnen Police Station;
•	North Weston Pond and Bridge;
•	North-South Arterial Road for Molonglo Suburbs;
•	One Million Trees Initiative - Canberra International Arboretum and Gardens;
•	Calwell High School Performing Arts Centre;
•	Belconnen Town Centre - Cohen Street Extension and Replacement of Bus Interchange;
•	Upgrade of Tharwa Drive - Stage 1;
•	Upgrade of Airport Roads - Stage 2; and
•	Flemington Road Duplication.
The Budget not only invests in new projects, but continues to invest in maintaining and improving the Territory’s existing infrastructure by providing a $10.4 million increase in base funding for the Capital Upgrades Program.  
A further $3 million is also provided for the continuation of the Whole of Government Capital Improvements Program.  
An additional $5 million in maintenance funding is also allocated.  Further detail of repairs and maintenance works associated with this additional allocation is provided in Chapter 5.3.

Capital Works Program at a Glance
•	Total value of the 2008‑09 New Works Program is $626.4 million.
•	Total cash provided in 2008‑09 for New Works and Works‑in‑Progress (WIP) is $474.1 million:
–	total cash provided for New Works in 2008‑09 is $217.2 million; and
–	total cash provided to continue WIP in 2008‑09 is $256.9 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, due to the large investment made under the Building the Future infrastructure investment program.  A large works-in-progress balance also continues from previous budgets, as part of the substantial investment made in previous years.

Note:
1.	Total Capital Upgrade funding for 2008-09 is $43.211 million.  $0.675 million of funding provided to Calvary Hospital is incorporated under Grants.

Feasibility Studies and Capital Planning
The Feasibility Study and Capital Planning component of the 2008‑09 New Works Program has a total value of $17.439 million, with a financing requirement in 2008‑09 of $10.759 million. This represents a significant investment in Capital Planning.
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 and capital planning programs.

Forward Design
The forward design of projects prior to commitment to construction included in the New Works Program has a value of $14.1 million.
Formal planning and design of large infrastructure projects allows for detailed specifications to be fully developed and helps mitigate potential delays and cost escalations during the construction phase of a project.
Table 6.1.3 outlines the 2008‑09 forward design program.

Capital Upgrades Program
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 $43.2 million has been allocated in 2008‑09 for capital upgrades.  This includes an additional $10 million provided to Department of Territory and Municipal Services in 2008‑09 to further enhance base funding.
Table 6.1.6 below outlines the 2008‑09 capital upgrades program, by agency and, where available, by program or type of works.

TOTAL CAPITAL UPGRADE PROGRAM	43,211	
Note:
1.	$0.675 million of funding provided to Calvary Hospital through a Grant.

Capital Improvement and Contingency Fund
The Whole of Government Capital Improvement Program will continue with $3 million provided in 2008‑09.  These funds are held by Treasury in a central fund for the purpose of addressing urgent, unforeseen or other identified works as they arise throughout the year.
A central contingency fund has also been established.  This fund will be used as a last point of call, where capital projects contingency funds have been exhausted, and all reallocation options within existing capital programs have been considered.  The will was set up for capital upgrades projects in particular where contingency funds are rarely identified or provided.
