Date of work: February 2000 Reason for Write-Off Mitchell Logistics created a diesel spill on Great Eastern Highway, Sawyers Valley. The cost of the clean up was $88,478.83 which included a 15% administration surcharge levied by Main Roads. The debtor paid $76,938.12 but the debtor and its insurance company disputed this 15% surcharge. The matter was referred to the Crown Solicitors Office for advice, and the debt was listed for write off after receiving legal advice. Payment of $19,722.00 was received from the debtor prior to commencement of the work. The debtor disputed the balance of $64,235.00 which related to signal modifications at Stirling Highway / Tydeman Road North Fremantle/ Monteath Properties Pty Ltd subsequently went into liquidation. A claim with the liquidator for this debt was lodged. As this debt was over $50,000, the Minister’s approval to write it off was obtained. A section of the retaining wall collapsed when the developer was working on the car park at the Heart of the Park Shopping Centre. Main Roads was informed that the wall was in fact on the road reserve and we accordingly repaired the wall for safety reasons. However Main Roads is of the opinion that the collapse of the wall was caused by the developer. The developer disputed this claim. Comments were sought from Halpern Glick Maunsel, civil engineers regarding the cause of the collapse. Main Roads was advised that it is not possible to determine with any certainty whether the wall would have collapsed as a result of the developer actions. Advice was obtained from Crown Solicitors Office and it was determined that the cost of recovery would outweigh any proceeds.

MRWA– Question 2 Mitchell Logistics Monteath Properties Pty Ltd Eastern Property Investments Pty Ltd Amount of Debt Written-Off $11,540.71 $64,235.00 $40,000.00 Details of Debtor Transport haulage company Property developer Proprietor of Heart of the Park Shopping Centre, Victoria Park Nature of Debt Main Roads 15% administration surcharge for the recovery of costs for diesel spill at Great Eastern Highway Sawyers Valley Date of Work: August 2000 Signing and road marking and removal of two signal poles at Queen Victoria St/Tydeman Road. Signal modification at Stirling Hwy/Tydeman Road. Date of work: 1996 Repair to granite retaining wall at Heart of the Park Shopping Centre, Shepparton Road, Victoria Park, to ensure that the road was trafficable. Date of work: February 2000 Reason for Write-Off Mitchell Logistics created a diesel spill on Great Eastern Highway, Sawyers Valley. The cost of the clean up was $88,478.83 which included a 15% administration surcharge levied by Main Roads. The debtor paid $76,938.12 but the debtor and its insurance company disputed this 15% surcharge. The matter was referred to the Crown Solicitors Office for advice, and the debt was listed for write off after receiving legal advice. Payment of $19,722.00 was received from the debtor prior to commencement of the work. The debtor disputed the balance of $64,235.00 which related to signal modifications at Stirling Highway / Tydeman Road North Fremantle/ Monteath Properties Pty Ltd subsequently went into liquidation. A claim with the liquidator for this debt was lodged. As this debt was over $50,000, the Minister’s approval to write it off was obtained. A section of the retaining wall collapsed when the developer was working on the car park at the Heart of the Park Shopping Centre. Main Roads was informed that the wall was in fact on the road reserve and we accordingly repaired the wall for safety reasons. However Main Roads is of the opinion that the collapse of the wall was caused by the developer. The developer disputed this claim. Comments were sought from Halpern Glick Maunsel, civil engineers regarding the cause of the collapse. Main Roads was advised that it is not possible to determine with any certainty whether the wall would have collapsed as a result of the developer actions. Advice was obtained from Crown Solicitors Office and it was determined that the cost of recovery would outweigh any proceeds.
