QuestionView source ↗
How much of the cost of the port will not be serviced by the revenue expected from the Kingstream project, and are those funds provided for in the mid-year budget review papers? The SPEAKER: That was a rather long single question! Mr BARNETT
AnswerView source ↗
The estimated cost of the port is $192m, plus or minus 20 per cent depending on construction conditions, which largely relate to seasonal climatic conditions. However, the final design may be below that - the Government does not know. Once that is committed, the Government will provide funding. The initial government commitment will be in the range of $60m to $80m, which will be funded through Treasury operations. However, it will not occur in one year - the construction period is about 32 months - but will be spread over a period. Mr Ripper: Will that be provided in the mid-year budget papers, which are due out in December? Mr BARNETT: There is a contingency allowance within Treasury for the Kingstream project, but the project is not committed. When the project is committed, it will be brought within Government accounts.
