(2) What is the amount budgeted to be spent in 2019-20 for (a) maintaining and (b) upgrading the Fitters’ Workshop;

(3) What are the budgeted upgrade works either completed, in progress or planned for 2019-20.

(4) How much of the 2019-20 budget has been spent on (a) maintenance and (b) upgrades, to the date this question was published on the Questions on Notice Paper.

(5) What upgrade works were undertaken in relation to the expenditure identified in the answers to parts (1) to (4).

(6) What future upgrades are planned for the Fitters’ Workshop, when is it planned that those future upgrades will be undertaken and what is the estimated cost for those upgrades.

Ms Orr: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

(1)

(i)-(iii) Prior to 2011 the Fitters Workshop property was in the Suburban Land Agencies (SLA) portfolio. The information immediately available to SLA suggests that no costs were incurred in relation to the Fitters’ workshop apart from revaluations. The SLA does not have ready access to detailed records going back to 2008-09 to 2010-11 and that this would require substantial time to work through archives.

The Fitters Workshop was transferred to ACT Property Group (ACTPG) on 30 June 2011. ACTPG spent the following amounts on maintaining and upgrading the building:
