I thank the honourable member for some notice of this
question.
(1)–(3)
In accordance with the ''Perth Major Stadium Project Definition Plan'',
the Director General of Transport is required to prepare for the Minister for
Transport a project definition/master plan for the transport facilities
required to support the stadium. This master plan will include the provisions
and cost estimates for road, rail and bus facilities and the pedestrian bridge
and will be completed in the first half of 2013. Accordingly, in order not to
pre-empt the final master plan outcomes, no further information on the
transport requirements will be released until the master plan has been
considered by cabinet next year.
(4) Actual
escalation from May 2007 to June 2011 in WA is actually minus two per cent. We
have assumed, notionally, a zero per cent escalation, given that for larger
projects we would expect some escalation.
