(6)-(7) The information provided on contracts in the answer to Parliamentary Question 1808 of 1997 was limited to the 53 contracts recorded at the time on Main Roads' Contract Administration System (CAS).

A detailed search has identified a total of 147 contracts that have been awarded since 1993 in relation to the planning/construction of the $374 million project now known as the Graham Farmer Freeway. Details of these other contracts are provided in the attached Schedule 2.
