This 1925 appropriation authorises the Australian Government to withdraw £323,286 from the Consolidated Revenue Fund for 1925–26 to finance buildings, infrastructure and capital works. Most funding (£244,736) goes to the Department of Defence for naval, military and air facilities; the remainder supports Northern Territory works, health buildings, trade/customs facilities and a small allocation for the Institute of Science and Industry. It is the federal construction and infrastructure budget for that year.
