Although it is not in my own Vote area, I remember visiting a school on one occasion that was due to be replaced by a new school building which had been approved next to the school site. As there was an allocation of money to the Department, a new wiring system was installed in the school that was to be demolished, which was extraordinarily wasteful. The multi-annual envelope of money process seeks to end such wasteful expenditure.
