An annual action plan that addresses shorter-term priorities

The Capital Intentions Statement (CIS) is a five-year rolling annual plan that identifies specific major projects or programs to be undertaken as a priority in South Australia. These initiatives are:

• limited to those submitted to Infrastructure SA for assessment by state agencies or local councils
• generally over $50 million in value
• contingent upon South Australian Government funding - in full or in part.

This annual assessment and its recommendations are designed to assist the State Government to prioritise infrastructure and efficiently allocate capital through the Budget process. It, therefore, doesn't include projects that are already funded in the Budget.

The CIS Framework sets out the different types of outcomes to be achieved by delivering prioritised infrastructure projects, as well as the process for identifying, assessing and prioritising initiatives capable of meeting these outcomes.
