(1) The estimated cost of the Ord River project was $220m.
(2) The current estimated cost for the project is $322m. This is due to changes in scope, cost implications of Commonwealth environmental approvals and implementation timeframe being extended through to 2012 and 2013 to accommodate seasonal conditions and maximise the opportunity of indigenous outcomes.
