I thank the member - Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: Members! Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: It gets them excited. I like to see the Opposition and the National Party get excited about rail. They want deviating rail, but it is good to see that they can still get excited about rail. We have very good news about this project. We have attracted five consortia to tender for the work from the Narrows to Northbridge. Several members interjected. Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: This is interesting, because the Opposition has told us in the past that the laws of physics and engineering change when we cross the Nullarbor and that Perth cannot have tunnels and rail cannot be put in tunnels. However, it can be done. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: Order, members! Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: Five companies have tendered for the work, all of which have had extensive rail and bore tunnelling experience. The project covers 600 metres of cut and cover and 700 metres of twin bore tunnel structures. It also includes the fantastic underground stations at The Esplanade and William Street, pedestrian and cycle links, rail tracks, overheads, landscaping and the associated urban improvement works. The value of this work is over $200 million. It certainly is a most significant package. The first consortium, CityConnect, comprises Clough Ltd, McConnell Dowell Constructors (Aust) Pty Ltd and Obayashi JV; the second comprises Bilfinger Berger and Baulderstone Hornibrook Pty Ltd; the third comprises Leighton Contractors Pty Ltd and Kumagai Gumi Co Ltd; the fourth comprises Multiplex Constructions Pty Ltd, John Holland Pty Ltd and Tyco; and the fifth comprises Henry Walker Eltin Contracting Pty Ltd and Bouygues JV. Those five consortia are preparing for this work. We expect to shortlist the proponents by June 2003 and award the contract by December 2003. I also add for the benefit of members that today we handed out the extensive documentation to the five tenderers. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: Members! Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: This project is absolutely on target and on time. Several members interjected. Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: I thought members opposite would be interested to know that today we also issued the tender documents for package A, which is for the work from the Narrows to Mandurah. Two local companies were prominent in those four consortia - Multiplex and BGC.

It also includes the fantastic underground stations at The Esplanade and William Street, pedestrian and cycle links, rail tracks, overheads, landscaping and the associated urban improvement works. The value of this work is over $200 million. It certainly is a most significant package. The first consortium, CityConnect, comprises Clough Ltd, McConnell Dowell Constructors (Aust) Pty Ltd and Obayashi JV; the second comprises Bilfinger Berger and Baulderstone Hornibrook Pty Ltd; the third comprises Leighton Contractors Pty Ltd and Kumagai Gumi Co Ltd; the fourth comprises Multiplex Constructions Pty Ltd, John Holland Pty Ltd and Tyco; and the fifth comprises Henry Walker Eltin Contracting Pty Ltd and Bouygues JV. Those five consortia are preparing for this work. We expect to shortlist the proponents by June 2003 and award the contract by December 2003. I also add for the benefit of members that today we handed out the extensive documentation to the five tenderers. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: Members! Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: This project is absolutely on target and on time. Several members interjected. Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: I thought members opposite would be interested to know that today we also issued the tender documents for package A, which is for the work from the Narrows to Mandurah. Two local companies were prominent in those four consortia - Multiplex and BGC.
Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: It gets them excited. I like to see the Opposition and the National Party get excited about rail. They want deviating rail, but it is good to see that they can still get excited about rail. We have very good news about this project. We have attracted five consortia to tender for the work from the Narrows to Northbridge. Several members interjected. Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: This is interesting, because the Opposition has told us in the past that the laws of physics and engineering change when we cross the Nullarbor and that Perth cannot have tunnels and rail cannot be put in tunnels. However, it can be done. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: Order, members! Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: Five companies have tendered for the work, all of which have had extensive rail and bore tunnelling experience. The project covers 600 metres of cut and cover and 700 metres of twin bore tunnel structures. It also includes the fantastic underground stations at The Esplanade and William Street, pedestrian and cycle links, rail tracks, overheads, landscaping and the associated urban improvement works. The value of this work is over $200 million. It certainly is a most significant package. The first consortium, CityConnect, comprises Clough Ltd, McConnell Dowell Constructors (Aust) Pty Ltd and Obayashi JV; the second comprises Bilfinger Berger and Baulderstone Hornibrook Pty Ltd; the third comprises Leighton Contractors Pty Ltd and Kumagai Gumi Co Ltd; the fourth comprises Multiplex Constructions Pty Ltd, John Holland Pty Ltd and Tyco; and the fifth comprises Henry Walker Eltin Contracting Pty Ltd and Bouygues JV.
