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.
