1 Capital DEL includes items treated as resource in Estimates and Accounts but which are treated as Capital DEL in budgets.

2 Depreciation, which forms part of the resource DEL, is excluded from the total DEL, since capital DEL includes capital spending and to include depreciation of these assets would lead to double counting.
