PERTH STADIUM — PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE
760. Mr F.M. LOGAN to the Minister for Transport:
I refer to the alleged delay in the supply
of fabricated steel for the new stadium bridge.
(1) If the reason
for sending this fabrication work overseas was simply based on price, what is
the cost difference between the cheapest local bidder from Australia and the
Malaysian company?
(2) What is the
cause of the delay in the timetable for the fabrication of the bridge
steelwork?

I thank the member for Cockburn for
the question.
(1)–(2) The
contract was let. I do not have the exact price differences with me but there
was a price differential. I do not know it off the top of my head but I can
find out for the member. The one point I would like to make, before I answer
part (2) of the question, is the steel component of the bridge is only about 13
per cent of the overall steel, if I include the stadium. Most of the stadium
steel was fabricated in Western Australia. The overall project has a high Western
Australian component. In terms of the delay, we do not anticipate the extra
delay in the bridge having any impact on the opening of the stadium.
