Real Property and Informatics Infrastructure Acquisition and Disposal
This program manages an extensive portfolio of land, works, and buildings required to support the
delivery of Defence operations. It aims to ensure that the right real property is acquired and disposed of,
and is available where and when needed, while providing value for money, advancing objectives for the
greening of government land and buildings, and adhering to best practices for asset life‐cycle
management.

Note: Reprioritization of operational and/or management initiatives within the fiscal year may result in the reallocation of personnel to other program
activities, as required.
The Capital Investment Plan (Infrastructure) (CIP [Infra]) is the departmental 10‐year construction plan
listing projects valued at $1M and above, detailing new construction, recapitalization, betterment,
acquisitions, capital leases, transfers and potential disposal revenues/expenditures. Defence has
committed to spending yearly 2.5 per cent of Realty Replacement Cost in support of the CIP(Infra) and
this will continue in fiscal year 2011‐12.
Infrastructure readiness will be a significant challenge and Defence will use a risk‐based approach to
ensure that Maintenance and Repair (M&R) addresses first and foremost ageing infrastructure needs
where there are risks to the health and safety of members of the Defence Team and the general public.
Defence will continue to deliver those projects prioritized in the CIP (Infra) for fiscal year 2011‐12 that
are in support of rationalizing and sustaining the portfolio in accordance with CFDS targets.
Infrastructure which is surplus to program requirements, deemed unsustainable or which cannot be
economically capitalized, may be divested. The revenue received from the sale of the property will be
reinvested in the program to continue to deliver on the commitments of the CFDS. Strengthened
governance will ensure that infrastructure demands are appropriately prioritized and that operations
and health and safety continue to be assured.
