Capital works
(Question No 744)
Mr Pratt asked the Minister for Urban Services (redirected to the Minister for Planning), upon notice, on 15 November 2005:
(1) Why is the Land Development Infrastructure project of “Gundaroo Drive Extension into Forde” listed in the 2004-05 June quarter Capital Works Progress Report as cancelled;
(2) What was delivered for the $2000 expended on this project and why was funding for the project revised down from $29 000 to $2000;
(3) What is the significance of the cancellation of this project and will it be renewed in a further capital works budget.
Mr Corbell: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) The forward design project is no longer required because the road will be constructed by the land development Joint Venture in Forde.
(2) The project was cancelled before calling tenders and therefore $2,000 only was expended by ACT Procurement Solutions.
(3) The project will not be renewed in a future capital works budget as the road will alternatively be constructed by the land development Joint Venture in Forde.
