Question Without Notice No. 1293 asked in the Legislative Council on 30 November 2022 by Hon Dr Steve Thomas

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

WATER CORPORATION — WATER PIPES — BEAUFORT ST, INGLEWOOD

1293. Hon Dr STEVE THOMAS to the minister representing the Minister for Water:

I thank the Minister for Emergency Services; the previous answer was very generous.

I refer to the Water Corporation's upgrade of pipes along Beaufort Street, Inglewood, between Central Avenue and Dundas Road that commenced on 21 August 2022 and, according to the information given to businesses in the area, was due to finish within six weeks.

(1) What was the budget for this part of the pipe renewal project?

(2) Did the contract specify a time frame for this part of the project; and, if so, what was that time frame?

(3) What were the key performance indicators in the tender contract in relation to the start date and the finish date, and have these been met?

(4) If no to (3), why not?

(5) If no to (3), what penalties does the contract impose?

Hon ALANNAH MacTIERNAN replied:

I thank the member for the question.

(1)–(5) The answer is not available in time for today; however, it will be provided prior to 1 December 2022. I am obviously going to have difficulty delivering on that, but perhaps I can commit to providing it by 1 December 2022.
