Major Projects Canberra was established on 1 July 2019 to lead the procurement and delivery of the Territory’s infrastructure program.
It has two main components:
1. Procuring and delivering infrastructure projects designated by the Chief Minister into Major Projects Canberra
- Typically those designated projects will have significant complexity and scale. Major Projects Canberra will bear budget accountability for those projects and report directly to the Minister responsible for those projects.
- The first designated projects are the Canberra Hospital Expansion and City to Woden light rail (as well as finalisation of the Light Rail Stage 1 delivery phase);
2. Delivering other whole-of-government infrastructure projects in partnership with other directorates.
Other functions of Major Projects Canberra include contractor pre-qualification and IRE Certification, project management and reporting, superintendency of works and WHS Active Certification.
Led by the Director-General, Major Projects Canberra is made up of five divisions. The Director-General reports to the Head of Service and is accountable directly to the Treasurer and the relevant Ministers.
