(a) Following compilation of final invoices, the total cost has been revised down to $782,000. This has been divided $102,500 for the Premier’s office fit-out and $477,000 for the Attorney General’s office fit-out. The remaining re-location and fit-out costs were shared between both Offices and included items such as project management, maintenance and quantity surveyor fees. This initiative will save taxpayers approximately $1.6 million over four years, plus an additional $800,000 per annum thereafter.
(b) Premier’s office fit-out:
- Fit-out modifications - $68,300
- Consultant fees - $26,000
- Furniture supply - $8,200
(c) Attorney General’s office fit-out:
- Fit-out modifications - $296,000
- Consultant fees - $76,000
- Furniture supply - $59,500
- Audio Visual - $45,500
