I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1)–(4) Water ingress through fine cracks in the basement structure is being addressed by the injection of an epoxy-based chemical resin. The final cost is directly dependent on the extent of the work required to eliminate leaks. However, the anticipated final cost is $100 000. The cost to date is approximately $20 000. The final cost will be known when the work is completed. These costs may have been avoidable if the project was initially planned properly by the former government. (5) This question should be directed to the Minister for Transport, who is responsible for the delivery of the project in question, and I will answer it on his behalf.
