(b) what is the breakdown of estimated costs for each category of land?
As a result of recent interest in the concept of a Kimberley to Perth water pipeline, the Water Authority has reviewed the original costings of this concept, which was conducted in 1990. These estimates have been revisited using the Harvey to Serpentine pipeline as an example together with an overseas example of a pipeline in the United Arab Emirates. It has been estimated that the costing for the pipeline and welding alone could exceed $11 billion. No costings have been developed for payment to land owners or lessees for access along the proposed route. These costs would be in addition to the $11 billion costing.
