With no additional funding - $109 million capital spend over three years

We would be able to complete already contracted works, such as zoo renewals, and do only essential and reactive asset renewals.

The implications of no additional funding would expose us to more risk.

This would mean:

focusing on the most critical health and safety concerns at venues
the art gallery heritage building wrapped up for three years to defer urgent restoration work
deterioration of venues and no updating of venue content
risk of supporting systems failing, such as ICT systems and back-up power generation.

With the additional funding of $50 million proposed - $159 million capital spend over three years

We could also:

restore the art gallery heritage building
improve health and safety across facilities
keep deferral of asset renewals to a minimum.
