Minor Capital Investment Projects

Minor capital projects are undertaken to address emerging requirements—to enhance or replace existing capability, or develop or acquire new capability—of relatively low amounts. Unlike the major projects that are funded from the Defence Capability Plan, minor projects are funded from within capability managers' operating allocations. Like major projects, the funds are transferred to the DMO through a Materiel Acquisition Agreement. There are currently about 200 such projects with an average amount of less than $5m. During 2005–06, $138m was expended on minor capital projects.

The five most significant minor projects are listed in Table 2.7.
