Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 1099 asked in the Legislative Council on 7 November 2018 by Hon Peter Collier

Parliament: 40 Session: 1

YANCHEP RAIL EXTENSION — BENEFIT–COST RATIO

1099. Hon PETER COLLIER to the minister representing the Minister for Transport:

I refer to the Yanchep rail extension project definition plan and the benefit–cost ratio within the plan.

(1) What capital cost was used to derive the BCR of 2.6?

(2) What was the depreciation charge for each of the first five years of operation that was used to derive the BCR of 2.6?

(3) What was the forecast revenue for each of the first five years used to derive the BCR of 2.6?

(4) What was the forecast recurrent expenditure for each of the first five years used to derive a BCR of 2.6?

(5) What was the forecast annual operating subsidy for each of the first five years used to derive a BCR of 2.6?

Hon STEPHEN DAWSON replied:

I thank the Leader of the Opposition for some notice of the question.

(1)–(5) This project is currently at a critical stage in that it is going through an open market procurement process. A summary project definition plan has been released and consideration can be given to providing further information when this process is complete.
