6	CAPITAL WORKS
Highlights of the 2006‑07 Capital Works Program
The 2006‑07 Budget provides for the future needs of the ACT by investing in a range of high priority capital projects.  Equally, the Budget recognises the need to maintain and improve the Territory’s existing infrastructure.  At the heart of the Government’s infrastructure plan is a $90 million program to refurbish schools across Canberra.  
Major new capital projects in the 2006‑07 Budget include:
•	a new $21.1 million combined preschool/primary school at Gungahlin East;
•	a new $45 million regional school at West Belconnen on the site of the former Ginninderra District High School;
•	a major $18.7 million investment to increase the number of linear accelerators, used in the treatment of cancer patients, at The Canberra Hospital; and
•	the establishment and fit‑out of a new Emergency Services Headquarters and training facilities at Canberra Airport at a cost of $17.3 million.
The Government is also providing increased asset maintenance funding of $5 million per annum to the Department of Territory and Municipal Services to maintain roads and other infrastructure.
In summary:
•	Total value of the 2006‑07 New Works Program is $272.2 million.
•	Total cash provided in 2006‑07 for New Works and Works‑in‑Progress (WIP) is $337 million, compared to $292.4 million in the original 2005‑06 Budget, an increase of 15 per cent over the previous year:
- total cash provided for New Works in 2006‑07 is $112.3 million; and
- total cash provided to continue WIP in 2006‑07 is $224.7 million.
The value of New Works commitments in 2006‑07 of $272.2 million has increased from the 2005‑06 value of $168 million, due to a number of large one‑off projects included in the 2006‑07 New Works Program.
The total cash provided for New Works and WIP is considerably higher than last Budget, as many large projects remain in WIP from the 2005‑06 program.

2006‑07 Feasibility Studies 
The feasibility study component of the 2006‑07 New Works Program has a value of $1.4 million.
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 complete assessment of the viability of options and alternatives, including linkages to the Government’s service delivery objectives.

Table 6.4 outlines the feasibility study to be undertaken in 2006‑07.

Capital Upgrade Funding
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.
Capital upgrades are funded as part of a five-year rolling program.  This allows agencies to better prioritise and manage their upgrade programs.  
Funding of $31.1 million has been appropriated in 2006‑07 for capital upgrades.
Table 6.5 outlines the 2006‑07 capital upgrades program.

1	Funding of $1.780 million for the West Belconnen Regional School is from variations from the 2005‑06 Capital Works Program.  Funding of $0.940 million has been rolled forward into the 2006‑07 Program, leaving an estimated expenditure of $0.840 million in 2005‑06.

Traffic Congestion and Road Safety Improvement
The Traffic Congestion and Road Safety Program, originally announced in the 2000‑01 Budget, amounts to $198 million.  All projects except the Gungahlin Drive Extension (GDE) have been completed.  A total of $52 million is included for expenditure for the GDE in 2006‑07, with further expenditure of $17.8 million in 2007‑08 and $5.6 million in 2008‑09.  Due to long delays, changes in the scope of works and cost escalation factors, project authorisation of the GDE has increased by $30 million in the 2006‑07 Budget, bringing the total project value to $116 million.
Details of revised cost and financing commitments for the projects remaining in the program are outlined at Table 6.7.

1 $20 million of the Gungahlin Drive Extension is funded by the Australian Government through the Roads to Recovery Program.	
2 The total program value has increased by $32 million from 2005-06 mainly due to the increase for the Gungahlin Drive Extension.	

Roads to Recovery Program
The Roads to Recovery Program is a Commonwealth roads program targeted at roads in rural, regional and metropolitan areas.  Funding of $20 million was provided over four years from 2001‑02, with a further $25 million available for the period 2005‑06 to 2009‑10.  Of this, $5 million was announced in the 2006‑07 Commonwealth Budget.

2005‑06 Budget Funded Capital Works Outcome
The 2005‑06 Budget provided financing of $292.4 million for capital works projects.  A further $21.9 million of unspent appropriation was rolled over from the 2004‑05 program to the 2005‑06 financial year.  This provides revised funding of  $314.3 million for 2005‑06.
Table 6.9 provides a summary of expected outcomes for each agency, compared to original 2005‑06 Budget allocations.

1	Financing rolled from 2005‑06 into forward years.
Financing Rolled from 2005‑06 into Forward Years
The expected rollover from 2005‑06 is $115.4 million.  Major projects contributing to each agency’s underspend include:
Department of Urban Services - $13.6 million
•	Gungahlin Drive Extension ($7 million) - the project is now proceeding rapidly, however, legal action delayed expenditure for 2005-06.  The revised completion date is September 2008.
•	International Arboretum ($3.7 million) - pre-construction planning and consultation has taken longer than anticipated.  The revised completion date is June 2008.  As noted below, the initial scope of the Arboretum has been scaled back with overall funding reduced by $4.7 million.

ACT Planning and Land Authority - $8.4 million
•	City West Infrastructure Stage 1 ($4 million) - the project has been delayed to accommodate the master planning and ANU building program, in Childers Street.  Delays were also experienced in project commencement and awarding of contracts.  Stage 1 of the project has a revised completion date of June 2007.
•	Belconnen Town Centre Infrastructure ($2.9 million) - this project has been delayed due to a number of issues that have arisen from the proposed sale of land adjacent to the planned Cohen Street extension, including changes to existing land use classification and finalising land sale boundaries.  The revised completion date is April 2007.
ACT Health - $3 million
•	Sub/Non-Acute Inpatient Services ($1.3 million) - pre-construction planning and consultation has taken longer than anticipated.  The revised completion date is December 2006.
Department of Justice and Community Safety - $39.8 million
•	Correctional Facility ($37.1 million) – delays result from a protracted planning phase and a refinement to cost estimates.  Completion of the capital project is scheduled for January 2008.
Department of Treasury - $3.4 million
•	Data Centre Construction/Refurbishment ($1.5 million) - delays are due to difficulties in finding suitable sites and the need to tie in with construction timetables of shared facilities.  The revised completion date is June 2007.
•	Extension of Private Data Network ($1.5 million) - delays are associated with protracted negotiations over arrangements for sharing cabling trenches.  The revised completion date is December 2006.
Department of Education and Training - $4.2 million
•	Melrose High School Gymnasium ($2.3 million) - pre-construction planning and consultation has taken longer than anticipated.  The revised completion date is March 2007.
•	Gungahlin East Primary School Forward Design ($1.4 million) - delays are due to work being carried out on developing the overall master plan for the school. This project is now due for completion in 2006 with the school due to open for the 2008 school year.
Department of Economic Development - $21.3 million
•	Convention Centre ($19.4 million) - delays have resulted from the need to schedule the upgrade to fit in with existing Convention Centre bookings.  This project is now scheduled for completion by the end of June 2007.
Chief Minister's Department - $13.1 million
•	ACT Dragway ($7.8 million) – detailed evaluation is continuing and extensive consultation processes are underway.  It is expected that the project will be completed within 12 months following, and subject to, it receiving all necessary planning and environmental approvals.  On this basis a revised completion is December 2007.
•	Canberra Glassworks ($4.3 million) - delays relate to planning, design and construction challenges with a heritage-listed building.  The revised completion date for this project is December 2006.
Office for Children, Youth and Family Support - $3.6 million
•	New Youth Detention Centre ($2.8 million) - pre-construction planning and consultation has taken longer than anticipated.  The revised completion date is June 2008.
Department of Disability, Housing and Community Services - $4.3 million
•	Child and Family Centres ($2.9 million) - consultation and construction has taken longer than anticipated.  The revised completion date is December 2006.
Withdrawn Funding
In addition to the project rollovers, which contribute to agency’s underspends, funding relating to several projects has been identified to be withdrawn from the Capital Works Program/returned to the Budget.  These total $25.2 million and the main items include:
Withdrawn Funding 2005‑06
•	Convention Centre ($10 million withdrawn) - the scope of the project has been finalised and refurbishment will be completed for just under $30 million; and
•	Real Time Information ($2.6 million withdrawn) - during the tender evaluation process, the interface with ACTION’s ticketing system was identified as a major risk factor in the implementation of the project.  A feasibility study is to commence in 2006‑07 into the options for replacement of the current ticketing system.  The Real Time Information project will be reconsidered once the ticketing system issue is addressed.
Withdrawn Funding 2006‑07
•	International Arboretum ($4.7 million withdrawn) – the scope of this project has been revised.  The project will now be completed by June 2008 and will be delivered within a revised budget of $7.3 million.
