What infrastructure projects are in the budget?
BP4 The Infrastructure Program
BP4 outlines the government’s infrastructure works planned for the budget year: new and continuing (revoted) capital projects, as well as capital grants and repairs and maintenance. It includes descriptions of projects and the sources of funding for each project, by agency.
- Capital works are building and engineering works that create an asset, for example, constructing health clinics, roads and public housing.
- Capital grants are provided to fund construction of or upgrade assets owned, or to be owned once constructed, by non-government entities.
- Repairs and maintenance works are projects undertaken to maintain existing assets in working condition, keep an asset functioning at its required capacity but not enhance the asset or extend its useful life in a significant way.
The headline figure used to measure the annual infrastructure program is ‘total infrastructure payments’ and is reported in BP4 Table 1.
