Process to remove proposals from the Infrastructure Priority List
Proposals may be removed from the Priority List for a number of reasons:
-
Fully funded – the proposal receives a commitment of funding for delivery from the Australian Government, or has been fully funded by the proponent.
-
In delivery or Completed – the proposal proceeds to construction (major contracts are awarded), or delivery is completed.
-
Withdrawn – the proposal is withdrawn because the problem or opportunity is no longer nationally significant (evidence of the change, such as change in forecast demand, is required to support this action); or, the proposal is withdrawn because it no longer meets our strategic fit, deliverability criteria or scope of infrastructure sectors defined under the Statement of Expectations.
