Capital works by Government priority
The Government’s $1.9 billion Capital Works Program for the four years to 2020-21 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 light rail 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.
The Capital Works Program supports the Government’s priorities in the following areas:
- Building a better city ($521 million, or 27 per cent of the $1.9 billion total funding for the four years to 2020-21);
- Better services in your community ($370 million, or 19 per cent);
- Better support when it matters ($397 million, or 21 per cent);
- Better care when you need it ($305 million, or 16 per cent);
- Better schools for our kids ($254 million, or 13 per cent); and
- More and better jobs ($90 million, or 4 per cent).
