Commonwealth act
This Act has been repealed and is no longer in force. It is retained for historical reference.
This Act authorises the Australian Government to spend £2,323,196 (circa $2.3M, 1910) from Consolidated Revenue for capital works and buildings in the year to 30 June 1911. Funds are allocated across departments — chiefly Home Affairs, Postmaster‑General, Defence, Quarantine and Trade & Customs — to build government stores, communications, defence facilities and quarantine stations. It matters because it finances nationwide infrastructure projects and tracks detailed, state‑by‑state and project‑level allocations.
