The Capital Facilities Program comprises approved and unapproved major and medium projects.
Major capital facilities projects are defined as having expenditure over $15m and are subject to Government approval and formal review by the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Public Works (PWC). Medium facilities projects have an expenditure of between $500,000 and $15m. Projects valued over $8m are subject to Government approval. Projects valued between $2m and $15m are required to be notified to and agreed by the PWC but may not be formally reviewed by the Committee. Projects over $15m require referral to and full consideration by the PWC, with approval granted by the Parliament. Details of approved major and medium projects are provided in this Appendix.
The Capital Facilities Program gives priority to projects that support and sustain current and future capability requirements, other government initiatives, meet legislative obligations and provide engineering and infrastructure services, in support of new projects and upgrades to existing facilities.

The table below provides details on the expenditure to 30 June 2016 on capital facilities projects and budget estimates for 2016-17. Projects valued over $500,000 are included in the table. Descriptions for major projects are provided below the table.
