The Department of Housing advises:
(a) The contract between the Housing Authority and Briklay Pty Ltd for the works at Crossland street Carnarvon is NPWC Edition 3 (1981) with amendments (WA and Department of Housing). The works are for the construction of five two-bedroom and two three-bedroom homes at lot 30 Crossland Street Carnarvon with a contract sum of $1 720 997. The original contracted completion date was 27 March 2012.
(b) The works are 72 per cent complete. All houses have achieved the stage of 'lock-up'. There are a few minor items remaining for the wall cladding, internal linings and sealing, painting works, plumbing and electrical services. The floor tiling, cabinets, driveway, fence, site works and retaining walls are still incomplete.
The new estimated completion date is yet to be determined as the finalisation of the contract with Briklay is yet to be completed and the process to complete the works is yet to be established.
(c) Yes
(d) Yes
(e) Yes
(f) None.
(g) No. This is the responsibility of the contractor.
