CHAPTER 3: PUBLIC SECTOR INFRASTRUCTURE AND ASSET INVESTMENT
Key fi ndings of the Committee:
3.1 Across the general government sector, net infrastructure investment totalled $4.1 billion in 2008-09, an increase from $3.9 billion in the previous year.
3.2 Overall, actual expenditure was 7 per cent less than the revised estimate for 2008-09, but there were signifi cant variations for individual departments.
3.3 Of the 194 major infrastructure projects reported to the Committee, the actual expenditure was within 10 per cent of the estimated expenditure in 27 per cent of cases. $652 million less than budgeted was spent, with 53 per cent of major infrastructure projects under-spending by a signifi cant amount, primarily due to project delays and rescheduling. $207 million more than budgeted was spent on other projects, with 20 per cent of major infrastructure projects over-spending by a signifi cant amount, mostly due to projects progressing ahead of schedule.
3.4 In total, 48 per cent of projects had revised completion dates compared to original estimates, with 12 per cent being brought forward and 36 per cent being delayed. Of those projects which had revised completion dates in 2007-08, approximately half revised their completion dates again in 2008-09.
3.5 The Department of Treasury and Finance and Major Projects Victoria provide services to support government departments in planning and managing infrastructure projects.
3.1. Introduction
The net infrastructure investment across the general government sector in 2008-09 totalled $4.1 billion, which included ‘school modernisation, extension and re-building works as part of the Government’s Victorian Schools Plan; major hospital redevelopments such as the Royal Melbourne Hospital; key water projects; and various road and rail upgrades.’42 The expenditure is broken down by department in Table 3.1.
This spending is an increase on the $3.9 billion spent in 2007-08, continuing the Government’s trend of increased spending on infrastructure.43 New asset investment projects with a TEI of $3.2 billion were announced in the 2008-09 Budget, in addition to $1.1 billion provided in the 2007-08 Budget Update.44
A number of projects were expanded and accelerated during 2008-09 as a result of the Global Financial Crisis.45 Signifi cant Commonwealth grants that were unanticipated at the time of the 2008-09 Budget were also received during the year, primarily connected with education, social housing and transport projects. These are discussed further in Chapter 7 of this report.

Table 3.1 shows that the Government’s overall total expenditure on non-fi nancial assets was 7 per cent less than the revised estimate for 2008-09. However, within that, there were signifi cant variations for individual departments between the revised estimate and the actual expenditure. Four departments had variations exceeding $100 million each, including one department with a variation in excess of $300 million.

Chapter 3: Public Sector Infrastructure and Asset Investment
3.2. Departmental explanations from instances of variations in asset spending against 2008-09 expenditure projections
The Committee asked all departments to provide details of asset investment projects identifi ed in Budget Information Paper No.1 – Public Sector Asset Investment Program 2008-09, with a TEI in excess of $10 million for which expenditure was expected to occur during 2008-09. Details sought by the Committee included:
estimated and actual expenditure;
specifi c reasons for any variations greater than 10 per cent between the estimated and the actual expenditure for 2008-09;
TEI and remaining expenditure;
the original, revised and forecast completion dates for each project; and
specifi c reasons for any variations between the original, revised and forecast completion dates.
3.3. Major infrastructure projects where actual expenditure varied from estimates for 2008-09
The information supplied by departments documented a range of discrepancies between actual expenditure and the 2008-09 Budget allocations. Of the 194 projects reported to the Committee, in only 27 per cent of cases was the actual expenditure within 10 per cent of the estimated amount. The Committee sought explanations for those projects where expenditure varied by more than 10 per cent from the estimate. The Committee also sought details of projects with budgeted expenditure for 2008-09 where no expenditure occurred.
In total, the expenditure on these 194 projects was $444.8 million less than budgeted. That fi gure is made up of under-expenditure on projects totalling $651.9 million and over-expenditure amounting to $207.2 million.
The details supplied by departments are provided in Table 3.5 and Table 3.7 and summarised in Table 3.2.When examining these tables, it is important to recognise that they present a ‘point in time’ view of the progress towards project completion and that a negative or positive expenditure variation does not necessarily mean a change in the overall TEI for the project. Variations may have a number of causes, including a shift in the planned expenditure pattern, which does not necessarily affect the overall project cost. Projects where there have been revised completion dates are discussed in Section 3.4.

3.3.1 Major infrastructure projects with actual expenditure lower than estimated in 2008-09
There were 102 projects (53 per cent) where actual expenditure in 2008-09 was less than estimated by greater than 10 per cent. Together these under-expenditures resulted in $633.9 million less than budgeted being spent.46 Table 3.2 provides a summary by department. Table 3.5 provides the departments’ explanations for these variances.
The most common reason given for under-expenditure was project delays, most frequently delays associated with construction, permits or contracts. Reasons for project delays are discussed further in Section 3.4. Overall, as can be seen from Table 3.3, there is a clear concurrence between delayed projects and projects with signifi cant under-spends (i.e. 10 or more per cent less than budgeted) – 63 per cent of delayed projects had under-spends and 43 per cent of projects with under-spends also had delays.
46 An additional $18.0 million less than budgeted was spent on projects which under-spent by less than 10 per cent.

Table 3.3 also shows that in 57 per cent of cases, expenditure was less than estimated for reasons other than project delays.
In some instances, less money was required than had been budgeted because project costs were less than had been anticipated.
For a number of projects, less expenditure than budgeted occurred because of revisions to project schedules which did not lead to delays to the projects’ end-dates. In some cases, elements of projects had been brought forward in the previous year (so that expenditure budgeted for 2008-09 was spent in 2007-08). In other cases, elements of projects were postponed (so that expenditure budgeted for 2008-09 is to be spent in 2009-10). A variety of reasons led to this rescheduling, such as:
works had been accelerated in 2007-08 due to favourable circumstances then;
information and communication technology equipment was postponed to allow for server reconfi guration;
property market impacts;
linking planned State funding with new Commonwealth stimulus funding; and
timber expected to be reusable turned out to need replacement.
Report on the 2008-09 Financial and Performance Outcomes
38
There were also several cases where the apparent under-spend was attributed to budgeted funding being spent as output funding rather than as asset funding. Similarly, a decision to deliver a project through a Public Private Partnership meant that originally planned funding is now not to be spent.
There were nine projects with a TEI over $10 million where funds were budgeted to be spent in 2008-09 but where no funds were actually spent. The explanations are provided in Table 3.4.

The planned refresh program was postponed to 2009-10 to allow server reconfi guration. The project is still scheduled to meet original end-date of June 2012.
Department of Justice
Melbourne North Police Station – Construction (Carlton–North Melbourne)
7.6
Project recorded zero net expenditure for 2008-09 as a result of a refund of property purchase costs from DTF and delays in the site search and compulsory acquisition process. The original site identifi ed for compulsory acquisition proved unsuitable due to contamination and, accordingly, a second site was identifi ed and the compulsory acquisition process recommenced. The TEI for this project was revised to $23.9m as part of the mid-year budget update.
VICSES Support – Construction and Asset Enhancement (Statewide)
5.3Project had no capital expenditure for 2008-09 following s.30 FMA budget transfer to output. This process has not affected the completion date.
Department of Sustainability and Environment
National Water Initiative – Macalister – Construction (Boisdale)
1.3
The Commonwealth required further information regarding water savings prior to approval of the milestone payment. Southern Rural Water Corporation provided the additional information in 2009-10 and the milestone payment is now expected to occur in March 2010. The project remains on course to deliver estimated water savings of 15 gigalitres for the environment in the Macalister and Thomson rivers.
Sustainable Water Initiatives – Maintenance (Statewide) 4.5
In 2008-09 this program was expected to fund works associated with the Werribee Vision Project. Approvals for stage one and two have been completed with the last four stages still requiring approval prior to the allocation of funding. Funding has been carried over into 2009-10 to allow for gaining the necessary approvals.

Report on the 2008-09 Financial and Performance Outcomes
62
Notes:
(a) TEIs for the Department of Human Services are revised rather than original fi gures.
(b) Figure reported as 0 by the Department – this fi gure comes from Department of Treasury and Finance, Budget Information Paper No. 1 – Public Sector Asset Investment Program 2008-09, pp. 40–1; explanation for variance from Department’s response to questionnaire part 2, question 2.1(h).
(c) TEIs for the Department of Justice and the Department of Transport are as published in the 2008-09 Budget Information Paper No. 1.
(d) Information supplied by the Committee.
Source: Departmental responses to the Committee’s 2008-09 Financial and Performance Outcomes Questionnaire – Part Two, except where noted
3.3.2 Major infrastructure projects with actual expenditure higher than estimated in 2008-09
There were 39 projects (20 per cent) in 2008-09 in which departments spent in excess of 10 per cent more than had been estimated (see Table 3.2). Together they amounted to $190.8 million more being spent than budgeted.47 Table 3.6 provides a summary by department. Table 3.7 provides detailed explanations by department for these variances.
The main reason given for over-expenditure was projects proceeding ahead of schedule, with 72 per cent of project over-expenditures attributed to this cause (see Table 3.6). In many cases, favourable building conditions were cited as the reason. In some cases this meant that projects’ end-dates could be brought forward, but in many instances the end-date remained unchanged.

Source: Departmental responses to the Committee’s 2008-09 Financial and Performance Outcomes Questionnaire – Part Two
47 An additional $16.4 million more than budgeted was spent on projects which over-spent by less than 10 per cent.
63
Chapter 3: Public Sector Infrastructure and Asset Investment
Other reasons provided for higher-than-estimated expenditure included:
under-expenditure in 2007-08 leading to funds being carried forward to 2008-09 and spent then;
unanticipated needs to remove high-risk site contaminants from construction sites;
alterations to the schedule or milestones leading to adjusted cash fl ows;
additional design and investigation activities being required; and
land acquisition costing more than originally estimated.

3.4. Major i nfrastructure projects with revised completion dates
The Committee sought information from departments regarding infrastructure projects with TEIs in excess of $10 million and budgeted expenditure in 2008-09 which had revised completion dates. In total, there were 94 projects with revised completion dates. Completion dates were brought forward in 24 cases (26 per cent) and postponed in 70 cases (74 per cent). A breakdown by department can be seen in Table 3.8.

Note: (a) Details of the expected completion date for one project were not supplied.
Source: Departmental responses to the Committee’s 2008-09 Financial and Performance Outcomes Questionnaire – Part Two
The Committee asked departments to provide the reasons for the revised end-dates and these have been presented in Table 3.9 and Table 3.10.
The Committee notes that most departments provided limited meaningful information regarding why works were accelerated.
A range of explanations was provided for those projects that were delayed. In a number of cases, the cause of delays was beyond the control of the project. Issues such as the discovery of asbestos and soil contamination delayed some building projects. Some road works were delayed by adverse weather conditions. In other cases, delays were caused by timber that had been thought to be reusable proving not to be and the discovery of the remains of an early courthouse requiring an archaeological survey.
Delays were also caused by agencies which were beyond the State Government’s control, such as other agencies undertaking projects on adjacent or connected sites, delays to funding from the Commonwealth Government and private companies being placed into administration. Similarly, delays to council approvals, a university taking longer than expected to fi nalise a project’s scope and objections being taken to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal may also have been beyond the control of the departments.
73
Chapter 3: Public Sector Infrastructure and Asset Investment
The Committee also notes, however, that a number of the explanations provided by departments suggest issues with planning processes on the departments’ part. These included:
fi nalisation of tender documents taking longer than expected;
redesigns of projects and revisions of project scope; and
projects having to be revised because tenders exceeded project budgets.
The Committee notes that in some cases, these issues caused signifi cant delays, with a number of projects experiencing delays of one to two years for these reasons.
In addition, whilst delays connected with getting other agencies on board and due to town planning issues may in some cases be beyond government departments’ control, in other cases such matters may be refl ective of poor planning or poor project execution by departments. A number of these delays also resulted in the postponement of project completion dates by one to two years.
Almost 63 per cent of projects with delays also had under-spends on their 2008-09 budgets (see Table 3.3), highlighting the inter-connectedness of timeliness and budgets. The Committee notes that there are times when unforeseeable events occur which can delay projects. However, it would appear that there is scope for improvement in departments’ project planning processes to reduce the number of delays.
The Committee also enquired specifi cally about projects for which departments had reported revised completion dates to the Committee in 2007-08.48 Of the 37 projects that continued into 2008-09 where completion dates had previously been revised, approximately half were revised again in 2008-09. Six projects (16 per cent) had completion dates brought forward and 13 projects (35 per cent) had the completion dates further postponed.49
The explanations for these revisions were similar to those generally provided for project delays, primarily adjustments to project scope and site contamination. Delays associated with fi nalising agency participation and contractors being unable to start when originally planned also contributed.50
As with the delays in general, some of these factors are unforeseeable, but some may be avoidable with improved project planning processes. This further emphasises the importance of departments having access to expert guidance both at project initiation and throughout the management of projects, as discussed further in Section 3.5.

Chapter 3: Public Sector Infrastructure and Asset Investment
3.5. Supporting departments’ project planning and management
Overall, in only 27 per cent of cases were projects delivered within 10 per cent of their 2008-09 budget. Similarly, only 51 per cent of projects currently underway expect to meet their original completion dates. This indicates that departments are experiencing some diffi culties accurately estimating required budgets and timelines. To ensure effi cient and effective delivery of infrastructure programs, it is important that departments have expert guidance when undertaking initial project planning and through the life of projects.
Based on explanations given to the Committee in this inquiry, it appears that departments would benefi t from expert guidance with respect to:
identifying all required steps of a project;
accurately estimating the timing of steps;
ensuring that project scope is fully and correctly identifi ed at the start of the project; and
successfully incorporating the needs of stakeholders, including agencies and councils, into scope defi nition and timeline planning.
In its Report on the 2007-08 Financial and Performance Outcomes, the Committee recommended that:51
Departments establish knowledge management processes and systems that facilitate the sharing of expert knowledge and lessons learnt in the planning and timing of major infrastructure projects. This is essential in the planning stages of a project.
The Government’s response indicated that the Government was seeking to achieve this through a number of means, primarily through work undertaken by the Department of Treasury and Finance. This included the establishment of a Gateway Supervisory Committee to share lessons learnt from major infrastructure investment projects, the Investment Lifecycle Guidance publications, business case training sessions and a Project Management Community of Practice.52
The Department of Treasury and Finance and Major Projects Victoria (for projects nominated under the Project Development and Construction Management Act 1994) play key roles in supporting departments to plan and manage their projects. In both cases, little information is made publicly available about how effective and effi cient these project management and support services have been. To ensure that these bodies are providing as much benefi t as possible, it is important that the effectiveness and effi ciency of their support in terms of infrastructure project outcomes be assessed and reported.

The Committee notes that the Department of Treasury and Finance, along with other government agencies such as the Victorian Auditor-General’s Offi ce, do produce a number of guidance materials and best practice guides for departments to use in managing asset investment projects. However, these products are only useful in as much as they are successfully integrated into departments’ activities. It is therefore important for the Department of Treasury and Finance to monitor the uptake of its advice by departments, so that it can modify its products to improve uptake or results if required.
Recommendation 5: The Department of Treasury and Finance establish measures, and report on their success against them in its annual reports, to assess the performance of its programs facilitating project planning and management in terms of:
(a) the extent to which the Department’s advice is actually incorporated into project planning and management by agencies; and
(b) the extent to which the Department’s programs actually improve agencies’ ability to deliver projects on time and on budget.
The Department of Treasury and Finance consider whether it should facilitate project management training for project managers in other departments so as to assist departments to implement its advice and guidance.
