3.      Capital submissions will be reviewed and authorised by the Capital Works Executive group
        before inclusion as a budget review submission, where the group will consider justification
        for the request, deliverability, as well as organisational and community priorities before
        endorsing any capital works.
4.      All operating and capital submissions for additional spend, reallocation of savings or
        additional revenue will be confirmed by the Executive Team based on business risk
        assessment.
