QUAY — FLORENCE HUMMERSTON BUILDING
268. Hon ALANNA CLOHESY to the

I refer to media reports citing $400 000 to deconstruct the

explanation for the difference in the cost?
(3) Will the
Minister for Planning table the original tender documents for tender MRA 00230;

(1) The deconstruction cost of the Florence Hummerston
building was $442 725.
(2) The tender
was let to Colgan Industries in June 2012 for $1.354 million, which included
both the amount for the deconstruction of the building and a provisional sum
for the future reconstruction of the building. The provision for the
reconstruction of the building did not proceed by mutual agreement.
(3) Yes. I table the attached paper. [See paper 2651.]
