I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. The information has been advised to me by the Minister for Planning. (1) None. It is too early in the project to confirm private sector investment. (2) $170 million in private sector land acquisition and $2.2 billion in private sector construction. The estimates were calculated by professional property and financial advisers. (3) A discounted cash flow analysis of project costs and revenues. (4) Professional property and financial advisers. The analysis will not be tabled as it contains information that could prejudice the project land sales process. (5) Not applicable.
