I thank the honourable member for some notice of this
question.
(1) Allowing
for the normal procurement process, it is expected that a tender will be
awarded 15 months after funding approval by the state government.
(2) Eighteen months after the tender award.
(3) The probable cost estimates are $29.3 million for P50 and
$36 million for P90.

federal government provided an allocation of up to $18 million on a shared
funding arrangement in the last federal budget. The Public Transport Authority

the federal government allocation with a view to obtaining approval to commence
procurement in the last quarter of this calendar year.
