The MCF program is a management tool for planning for capital facilities projects and is a live document under continual review in the context of Government strategic priorities for the Defence estate.

The MCF program is a ten year plan for capital facilities projects relating to the Defence estate and infrastructure. It is primarily a plan for ongoing reinvestment in the current estate, however Infrastructure Division also delivers the facilities elements of Defence Capability Plan equipment projects.

It is composed of two elements:

Infrastructure Development Plan: The Infrastructure Development Plan is a forward plan of capital facilities projects that have not yet been approved.

The MCF Program is delivered through two mechanisms:

Capital Facilities Projects: A capital facilities project is the delivery of a facilities option by Defence in order to meet a Defence requirement. Capital facilities projects are further divided into two categories:
- Major Works are facilities projects valued at $15m or over. These projects are delivered through Infrastructure Asset Development Branch.
- Medium Works are facilities projects which are valued at less than $15m. These projects are primarily delivered through Infrastructure Asset Development Branch, although some are delivered regionally through DSG regional offices.
Acquisitions and Disposals Capital: Acquisitions and disposals activities may at times require capital funding.

Information about Defence’s capital facilities projects can be found in the capital budget section of the link to the Portfolio Budget Statements.

Further information is provided in the Ministerial budget Media Releases.
