The Capital Planning Process (CPP) is a cyclical process that takes place annually alongside the annual State Budget process. Capital planning (formerly known as Total Asset Management) is a strategic approach to physical asset planning. This approach involves an agency aligning its 10-year asset planning with its service delivery priorities and strategies, all in the limits of available resources. This approach allows us to achieve better planning and management of the State’s physical assets, both existing and planned.
Capital planning includes the provision of Capital Investment Plans (CIPs) at the agency, cluster and whole of government level. CIPs provide us with a summary of the total capital investment commitments and intentions over a 10-year time frame.
Capital planning includes a suite of policies to provide robust asset management over Government investment decisions in New South Wales. This includes the Business Case Guidelines, the Infrastructure Investor Assurance Framework (IIAF) requirements, ICT Assurance Framework (IAF) requirements, Gateway policy and Asset Management Policy.
