Administrative Arrangements for Block Grant Authorities

These Administrative Arrangements set out the Australian Government's detailed requirements applying to the administration by BGAs of the Capital Grants Programme (CGP). They are to be read in conjunction with the Commonwealth Act ('the Act' - the latest being the Schools Assistance (Learning Together – Achievement Through Choice and Opportunity) Act 2004 governing the administration of the CGP at the time; the current agreement between the Australian Government and the BGAs for the administration of CGP; the Australian Government Programmes for Schools - Quadrennial Administrative Guidelines' (Administrative Guidelines) applying at the time which set out detailed requirements about CGP for information of schools; and any other Australian Government instructions to BGAs issued from time to time. Like the Act and the agreement with the Australian Government, both the Administrative Arrangements and the Administrative Guidelines are binding on BGAs and on their participating schools and non-school organisations (eg hostels). The Department will consult BGAs about any proposed amendment of this document before any change is implemented.
