It specifically examines general infrastructure development and excludes funding for research infrastructure through the Australian Research Council or the research funding programme of the Education Investment Fund.  \nThe Rudd Labor Government was elected in 2007 with a commitment to expand participation in higher education, culminating in a policy to ensure that 40 per cent of all 25-to 34-year-olds in Australia held a qualification atthe bachelor’s level or above by 2025.The reform agenda to attain this goal was established in the government’s policy blueprint, Transforming Australia’s Higher Education System, and included a number of key initiatives in capital expenditure and spending on student income support (DEEWR, 2009) .  \nA key component of this agenda has been a renewed focus on infrastructure funding for higher education, both generally and as part of the Rudd-Gillard push to ensure the higher education sector is equipped to handle increased student demand, in keeping with the recommendations of key inquiries such as the Bradley Review of Higher Education (the ‘Bradley Review’), where it was observed that:  \nOver the last decade there has been relatively limited funding available specifically for the development of capital infrastructure or its refurbishment. This has meant that there is a backlog of renewal and refurbishment projects in the sector and some facilities are now sub-standard and inadequate for teaching and research purposes (DEEWR, 2008, p. 171) .  \nSince then, initiatives by the Rudd and Gillard Governments to boost infrastructure funding have centred around the creation of the Education Infrastructure Fund – drawing on resources from its 2007 Howard Government predecessor, the Higher Education Endowment Fund – whereby the Commonwealth has allocated $4.15 billion through the Education Infrastructure Fund to support higher education and vocational education and training infrastructure development, as well as other specific measures detailed below. Interestingly enough, the Bradley Review found that these measures were probably sufficient to ensure infrastructure provision across the  \nvol. 55, no. 2, 2013 Commonwealth infrastructure funding for Australian universities: 2004 to 2011, Paul Koshy & John Phillimore 99  \nA U S T R A L I A N U N I V E R S I T I E S ’ R E V I E W  \nhigher education sector, provided the principal in the Education Infrastructure Fund was not accessed directly, as opposed to its income stream.  \nGiven the recent focus on infrastructure funding in higher education, an important question that needs to be asked of recent expenditure is the extent to which it has been managed both geographically and also across institutional settings. It may well be the case that the overall picture of the system clouds attention to areas which require further funding to allow the Commonwealth to meet its  \nTable 1: Trends in Commonwealth Infrastructure Funding, By Major Programme, 2004 to 2011, $ million.  \n\n| Year | Capital Develop\u003Cbr>ment Pool | Education\u003Cbr>Investment Fund | Teaching and Learn\u003Cbr>ing Capital Fund | Better Universities Renewal Funding | Structural\u003Cbr>Adjustment Fund | Total |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 2004 | 39.2 | - | - | - | - | 39.2 |\n| 2005 | 36.9 | - | - | - | - | 36.9 |\n| 2006 | 38.2 | - | - | - | - | 38.2 |\n| 2007 | 18.9 | - | - | - | - | 18.9 |\n| 2008 | 61.6 | 461.8 | 492.9 | 495.7 | 368.2 | 1,880.2 |\n| 2009 | 59.8 | 498.7 | - | - | - | 558.5 |\n| 2010 | 61.8 | 180.1 | - | - | - | 241.9 |\n| 2011 | 46.0 | - | - | - | - | 46.0 |\n| Total | 362.4 | 1,140.6 | 492.9 | 495.7 | ","cbCaiu0R8I3Ju8Vs","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiu0R8I3Ju8Vs","pdf",197070,"English","# Trends in Commonwealth Infrastructure Funding in higher education\n## Overview of infrastructure funding programmes (2004 to 2011)\n## Major capital programmes and distributions by year\n## Policy context: Rudd-Gillard agenda and infrastructure focus\n## Distribution questions across geography and institutions","[{\"question\":\"What period and funding type does the paper examine for Australian universities?\",\"answer\":\"It examines Commonwealth general infrastructure funding for Australian universities (Table A providers) over 2004 to 2011, focusing on general capital infrastructure development.\"},{\"question\":\"Which funding is explicitly excluded from the analysis?\",\"answer\":\"Funding for research infrastructure through the Australian Research Council or research funding programmes of the Education Investment Fund is excluded.\"},{\"question\":\"How did the paper’s spending trends analysis structure the major capital programmes?\",\"answer\":\"It summarizes five major capital programmes (Capital Development Pool, Education Investment Fund, Teaching and Learning Capital Fund, Better Universities Renewal Funding, and Structural Adjustment Fund) and reports their distributions across 2004 to 2011.\"}]","Commonwealth infrastructure funding for Australian universities - 2004 to 2011 | PDF",1792079328,15]
