Capital purchases for the health portfolio are $1.303 billion in 2015-16, including $488.7 million to continue delivery of the Sunshine Coast University Hospital and $179 million to continue the statewide roll out of clinical and administrative support systems. A further $113.6 million will be invested to finalise a number of major projects including Logan Hospital, Lady Cilento Children’s Hospital, Centre for Children’s Health Research, Mackay Base Hospital, Mount Isa Health Campus and Gold Coast University Hospital. In 2015-16, $861.4 million is allocated towards capital purchases for Queensland Rail, including a $568.4 million network infrastructure program. The Government will make capital purchases of $427.3 million for schools in 2015-16, including $168.7 million to undertake new stages for four recently-opened schools and provide additional classrooms at existing schools in growth areas throughout the State. Construction of the $25 million Cairns Special School will commence in 2015-16, with the Government investing $7.1 million. $408.9 million is being provided to Local Government Authorities to undertake recovery, reconstruction and betterment projects following Tropical Cyclone Marcia and other recovery and reconstruction projects relating to natural disaster events of 2013 to 2015.
