Table 86 provides a snapshot of the ACT's economic infrastructure across the four sectors of transport, water, energy and communications.
The table notes the capacity of each subsector and its rate of utilisation in 2011, along with historic (2011) and projected (2031) DEC for each subsector.
Given the ACT's size, there is only the one Audit region for the territory. In 2011, the DEC of infrastructure in the ACT was $3.5 billion, which was around two per cent of the national figure.
In 2031, ACT infrastructure DEC is projected to increase by around $3.3 billion, or 96 per cent, reaching $6.8 billion (1.8 per cent of national DEC).
