(a) $57 million
(b)-(c) The New Lord Street project resulted from a variation to the contract for the Ellenbrook Bus Rapid Transit (EBRT) project.
(d) The EBRT project was subject to a formal tender process in 2016. The contract was then modified to remove the dedicated bus road and replace it with an additional carriageway on New Lord Street.
