2.1.2  Core and non-core services

Governments will generally retain responsibility for delivery of Core Services (although this will be determined on a jurisdictional basis). Core Services are those where governments have particular responsibilities to people using the service and the community (such as in health and education).

The 'related' non-core services which are included in the scope of private sector provision may encompass accommodation services arising out of the infrastructure, including building-related services such as maintenance, cleaning and security, and some support services.

The determination of core and non-core services will occur on a case-by-case basis at the early planning stages of each infrastructure project.
