Commonwealth act
This Act has been repealed and is no longer in force. It is retained for historical reference.
This Act authorises about £182 million from the Consolidated Revenue Fund for 1963–64 capital expenditure — buildings, infrastructure and equipment rather than operating costs. It funds federal departments, Commonwealth business undertakings (railways, postal/telecom, overseas telecom, broadcasting) and major national projects — e.g. Snowy Mountains Scheme, War Service Homes, interstate railway standardisation and River Murray works — completing the year’s capital appropriation alongside an earlier Supply Act.
