2. $23,000 inclusive of GST. This guaranteed a four page supplement with subsequent contribution from other key stakeholders. Due to the Government's commitment, considerable interest was generated and a 12 page supplement was produced. This provided a high level of information and marketing promotion for members of the public wishing to use the new Prospector service. The train has been fully booked since its launch.
