Production costs of project material are included in the consultancy fee. The marketing services provided have been considerably more comprehensive and significantly less expensive than would be the services of a real estate agent. The Housing and Community Services Bureau did not have available the necessary resources and specific skills to dedicate to the project, as it is seldom involved in these processes.
(3) The Commissioner for Housing approved the consultancy, as a step in the implementation of the "Building for Buyers" scheme. This process was consistent with the instruction of October 1991, issued by Mr Connolly to all his Departmental portfolios, that he be advised of all consultancies with a contract sum greater than $25,000.
(4) The engagement of Turnbull Fox Phillips was in accordance with the "Australian Capital Territory Purchasing Manual - Engagement of Consultants" guidelines, as managed by the Publications and Public Communications Section of the Department of Urban Services, who provided guidance in the overall process.
(5) No money has been paid to date. However, the contract fee of $20,000 for services over a period of approximately twelve (12) months, has been fully accounted for in the costing of the project. See answer (2) for details of services provided by the consultancy.
(6) No.
