Of the $5.2 billion program allocated in 2006-07, $3.0 billion worth of projects are unable to be allocated to specific electorates. This is because some projects are large enough to cross electorate boundaries (e.g. roads, pipelines, power lines), and some projects while purchased at a particular location, are actually part of a State-wide program.
