MANDURAH MULTISTOREY CAR PARK
885. Hon PETER COLLIER to
the minister representing the Minister for Transport:
I refer to the announcement
regarding the new Mandurah multistorey car park and the Premier's
comment that it will support local companies and local workers.
(1) How many companies tendered for
the project?
(2) For each company in (1), in what
suburb or geographic location are they located?
(3) Of the 120
jobs that are expected to be created, how many will be filled by local people
who live in the Mandurah area?
Hon
STEPHEN DAWSON replied:
I thank the honourable Leader of the
Opposition for some notice of the question.
(1) Seven companies submitted
tenders for contract PTA190120.
(2) The locations of the tenderers are Perth, Subiaco,
Balcatta, three tenders from Osborne Park, and Busselton.
(3) Although the minister's statement indicated
that 120 jobs would be created, the contractor's recently submitted Western Australian industry participation plan
shows the following number of people to be employed during the life of
the contract: 150 regional area employees, and 15 regional area apprentices or
trainees.
