This capability view assessment represents a step towards identifying and defining the facilities, training areas and environmental impacts of new capability. These impacts resulting from the development, delivery and sustainment of capability systems will vary. In some cases the facilities elements represent a minor and relatively insignificant requirement. In other circumstances, facilities can be a major component in support of capability project with significant cost and schedule implications. As such, the applicability of some of the questions in this publication may also differ between projects.

2. This Capability View assessment sets out an approach to assess the potential facilities requirements and related impacts on DSG products as a result of a new capability. The intent is to also use this Capability View by Capability Systems Division in developing the Concept of Operations Document in order to develop a high level appreciation of the possible bases and training areas that may be affected by the capability project. By applying the range of steps that are logically connected in this Capability View publication, the gap in facilities, training areas and environmental requirements of capability projects can be accurately identified and defined to assist the detailed development of these requirements by DSG in the subsequent development stages, namely CSIR Part 2, Strategic Business Case and Detailed Business Case. This will lead to better outcomes for Defence.

3. Real value to detailed estate planning is gained by considering the underlying issues associated with each of the questions and bringing forth any matters of concern that could pose challenges and represent risks (or issues) in delivering the required infrastructure support to capability. Added complexities can arise when environmental issues are taken into account: while costs may be minor, the potential impact on the capability project can be significant. Also significant and complex facility requirements must be identified early to allow Parliamentary Works Committee (PWC) consideration in a timely maner.

4. The assessment aspects in this publication are meant to be interpreted by personnel with expertise in base operations & management and facilities matters. Initial guidance and assistance for completing this assessment could be sought from respective Service Infrastructure agencies (IDA-AF, Dir Plans Army – Infrastructure Section, Dir Navy Basing & Environ Pol) and/or Unit or Functional Commands. Answers to some of the questions can be provided by references to existing documents such as OCD, TCD, Acquisition Strategy, support concept, etc.

5. This publication, which is an expansion of the considerations contained within the Defence Capability Costing Standard – Facilities, has been prepared by the Directorate of Infrastructure Capability Coordination (DICC), Estate Planning Branch, Infrastructure Division. 3 Capability view – facilities and training areas considerations Issue 3, Nov 2011 6.
