Government priority
The Government’s $2 billion Capital Works Program for the four years to 2022-23 helps deliver services across the entire range of government priorities.
The priorities classification identifies projects by their primary priority. However, most projects support multiple priorities. For example, the Extending light rail to Woden – Delivering Stage 2A project helps build a better city through enhanced public transport facilities, with flow on benefits in more and better jobs, as well as better services through the delivery of a modern, integrated public transport system.

- Keeping our growing city moving ($396 million, or 20 per cent);
- Better healthcare for a growing community ($387 million, or 19 per cent);
