(1) Yes. (2) Transfield Construction Western Australia. (3) Construction of two multi purpose two-storey pavilions over water, construction of one new jetty and extensions to three existing jetties, 7000m3 of navigation channel and berthing basin dredging, landscaping and service and access improvements to all jetties. (4) Target completion is March 2001. (5) Not substantial. The Transperth Ferry shall now operate from Jetty Two. (6) Business continuity has been provided for in direct consultation with all affected leaseholders. The transition from existing to new premises has been achieved by the provision of high quality temporary business accommodation at no cost to the leaseholders. Media advertising and an active public relations campaign has been an initiative implemented by Transport to ensure the public is aware of the continued trading of the leaseholders.
