### sec.23 Objectives of comprehensive program of works
With a view to the coordination, regulation and control of a comprehensive program of works for the development of the State regard shall be had by the Coordinator-General and all other persons concerned to the following considerations—
the orderly arrangement and revision of a general program of works for the State;
the creation of additional means and methods of development and of employment;
the maintaining of continuity of work in the various parts of the State on a basis of reasonable uniformity;
the provision of ways and means whereby finance in respect of works and the creation of works may be spread over the State in equitable proportions;
the allocation, on terms advantageous to the welfare of the State generally, of finance by way of loans and otherwise amongst the departments of the Government and local bodies;
the examination and review of larger developmental works generally with a view to a selection by the Governor in Council of works that, while conferring a greater amount of aid to the general employment position of the State, also offer greater possibilities as productive works;
the establishment of a policy of coordinated relationship among departments of the Government and local bodies with a view to—
securing coordination and cooperation in activities connected with works and construction; and
evolving schemes for providing employment and for improving the general economic development and the public amenity of the State; and
avoiding or minimising duplication and overlapping in the services and activities of departments of the Government and of local bodies generally;
the securing of cooperation and assistance of persons engaged in industry otherwise than within departments of the Government or within local bodies with a view to aiding the general employment position in the State.
