English term or phrase: capital works
The context:

Renovation costs and costs to repair damage, defects or deterioration existing on purchase cannot be claimed as an immediate deduction. These costs are capital expenditure, depending upon what is repaired or improved, and must be claimed as either decline in value deductions over the asset’s effective life, or as capital works deductions over 40 years.

Common mistakes

There are some common mistakes made by both first-time and other rental owners. These include:
• Incorrectly claiming the cost of structural improvements as repairs when they are capital works deductions. Examples of this include remodelling of bathrooms and kitchens, and constructing a deck or pergola.

neutral  juvera: Your own examples show that "capital works" are not necessarily infrastructural developments.The definition in the first website quoted is not what you wrote, but that's beside the point.
