Questions without notice taken on notice
Westside village—costs
Mr Barr (in reply to supplementary questions by Mr Smyth on Thursday, 29 October 2015): One existing vendor is proposing to sell their business. Since the ACT Government has been managing Westside, two new businesses have commenced and two other businesses are preparing to commence.
The ACT Government provided all vendors in place a rent-free period during the transition to government management (11-31 August 2015). The rents for existing vendors are the same as were charged by the previous manager.
ACT law courts—preferred proponent
Mr Corbell (in reply to supplementary questions by Mr Wall on Thursday, 19 November 2015): In Public Private Partnership (PPP) projects bids are submitted by consortia consisting of financiers, builders and facilities managers.
Of the six consortia that submitted an expression of interest for the ACT Law Courts PPP project:
• one was sponsored and led by a ‘Canberra business’; and
• two included construction partners who have permanent office presence
in Canberra.
Both shortlisted proponents provided a local industry participation plan as an assessable component of their bid.
