The possibility, practicality and cost-effectiveness of sub-dividing capital projects or scheduling delivery in successive stages is a matter for the responsible Department and public agency having reference to the Value for Money Framework introduced in recent years. Obviously, the particular type of project will influence the practicality of delivery in several stages. For example, construction of the Major-Inter-Urban routes has taken place over several stages but this may not be feasible for all major capital infrastructure projects.
