In addition to these, acquisitions of non-financial assets under finance leases of $1.032 billion brings the total capital program in 2016-17 to $10.666 billion. This capital program supports around 31,000 jobs in 2016-17. The level of capital expenditure over the forward estimates is forecast to total $38.461 billion including capital purchases and capital grants, or $40.836 billion including Public Private Partnerships (PPPs). The growth in capital expenditure largely reflects the additional infrastructure investment associated with the State Infrastructure Fund. With the Government engaging in a range of PPPs to deliver infrastructure, the value of acquisitions under finance leases is significantly larger across the forward estimates than it has been historically. Accordingly, it is important that this method of infrastructure delivery is recognised as part of the Capital Statement. This is consistent with the approach taken in most other states. The 2016-17 capital program is focused on ensuring a consistent flow of works to support jobs and the economy and reduce the risk of backlogs emerging. To ensure Government assets continue to efficiently deliver key social services and support the development of the State, capital expenditure will focus on the needs of local communities and support local employment opportunities. There will be capital expenditure of $4.388 billion for transport and roads in 2016-17, including $399.9 million to construct the Toowoomba Second Range Crossing, providing a bypass route to the north of Toowoomba at a total cost of $1.606 billion, in partnership with the Australian Government. $250 million will also be spent on widening the Gateway Motorway North to six lanes, between Nudgee and Bracken Ridge, in partnership with the Australian Government. $17.7 million in 2016-17 is provided to commence the implementation of the European Train Control System Level 2 (ETCS 2) Inner City Project. Pending final project approval, implementation will deliver more network capacity as a precursor to Cross River Rail, at a total cost of $634.3 million. • $50 million in 2016-17 for Cross River Rail environmental impact approvals, establishment of the statutory body, and commencement of scoping of value share opportunities, early works and pre-procurement activities. The energy and water sector will make capital purchases of $2.184 billion to support the Government to deliver cost effective, safe, secure and reliable energy and water supply. Capital purchases for the health portfolio are $1.417 billion in 2016-17, including capital purchases to prepare the Sunshine Coast University Hospital and the Sunshine Coast Health Institute at Kawana for opening in April 2017. $230 million over five years to 2020-21 will be spent for the Advancing Queensland’s Health Infrastructure Program which will facilitate essential upgrades to health facilities and supporting infrastructure across Queensland. A further $80 million under the Priority Capital Program will be distributed across Hospital and Health Services and Health Support Queensland for a range of capital works projects to enhance, refurbish or replace existing infrastructure and to sustain and improve business and service level continuity. 1 _________________________________________________________________________________________Capital Statement 2016-17 The Government will make capital purchases of $460.3 million for the construction and refurbishment of school educational facilities, Early Childhood Education and Care services, and training assets. This includes $115.3 million to be spent to undertake new stages for four recently opened schools and provide additional classrooms at existing schools in growth areas. Capital purchases in the Public Non-financial Corporations sector, predominately government-owned corporations, constitute 26.4 per cent of total investments. 1.1 Introduction Non-financial Public Sector capital expenditure totals $9.634 billion for 2016–17, which comprises $8.264 billion of purchases

  • Welcome to the First Edition of RBDM's Family History Journal, a New
    Issue 16 Dear Colleagues It is with a sense of accomplishment that I announce we have reached the end of a long process to produce the new JP and Cdec handbooks. Since delivery, we have been busily preparing and dispatching copies of the handbook to meet your orders, and it is gratifying to see how popular they are. I want to thank you all for your patience while we worked through the process, as well as for the wonderful feedback many of you have provided. The concept of having loose leaf pages will prove worthwhile in time when updates to the handbooks are required. The new handbooks will be a valuable tool for years to come in your important community role. Also, we will continue to provide timely updates through Technical Bulletins on any relevant change. Recently, I received a copy of a JP Handbook from 1927 which outlined the powers and duties at the time for JPs in Queensland. It makes for interesting reading and highlighted how much things have changed. This handbook will be added to other memorabilia to be displayed at JP Branch. If you have anything that you think may also be historical to the role and would like to donate, please contact us to discuss. Also, this edition of the JP Bulletin contains information about advance health directives for mental health and witnessing Title Registry forms for “off the plan” purchase. With the release of both new handbooks and the continuing expansion of the volunteer JPs in the Community Program, this is truly an exciting time to be a JP or Cdec in Queensland.
