WHEATSTONE LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS PROJECT — STEEL FABRICATION WORK
I refer the minister to his answer to question without notice 180 asked on Wednesday, 23 March 2011, particularly answer (2)–(4), which states — The project is at too early a stage to provide a valid or useful estimate. (1) Is the minister aware that expressions of interest for tender for the packages offshore platform contracts, office procurement, onshore LNG plant contracts, onshore LNG plant procurement, subsea, flowlines and pipelines contracts have been available on the company’s website, with registration closing on most packages between early 2010 and March 2011? (2) If yes to (1), when does the minister think is the appropriate time to “use all its influence to maximise opportunities for WA businesses”? Hon SIMON O’BRIEN
