(a) The Fuel Indexation (Road Funding) special account was established with effect from 1 July 2014. Payment amounts to the States for 2014‑15 will be finalised by the Infrastructure Minister following a determination on the net additional revenue from fuel indexation by the Treasurer. Payments from this special account will be reflected in the 2016‑17 Budget and onwards.

(b) State allocations do not include the impact of the Government's new Infrastructure Investment commitments ($999m) or the offset for the freeze in the Road User Charge collections at the 2015‑16 level ($118m).

(c) Some amounts within some programmes are yet to be allocated. These amounts have been notionally allocated on an equal per capita basis between the relevant States.

(d) Figures represent expenses incurred against prepayments made to the States in prior years.

(e) The Government remains committed to the establishment of an Asset Recycling Fund. Currently, all payments to the States for the Infrastructure Growth Package are paid through the COAG Reform Fund.

(f) State allocations have not been determined for payments under the Asset Recycling Initiative. Projects will be agreed between the Commonwealth and individual states on a first‑come, first‑served basis, until the total amount of funding available under this measure is exhausted.
