(c) have any of these costs been included in the proposed $440 million budget for the Waterfront (please detail this precisely).

(a) There are no legislative requirements in relation to the number of hotel and serviced apartment rooms. The outcome is identified in the master plan and achieved through the design guidelines and the sales process. The draft design guidelines identify the minimum number of hotel rooms, short stay apartments or residential apartments to be provided on sites within Elizabeth Quay.
(b) No concessions have been guaranteed to any prospective developer. There is a strong level of interest from hotel and mixed use developers in Elizabeth Quay and the MRA will provide commercially viable propositions to prospective developers.
(c) Not Applicable.
