Recorded particulars
What else the sources state
Cost
- Reason for variance
- inappropriate use of around $11.0 million in Stage 1 contingency for originally unfunded works contrary to Treasury policy; the additional $16.4 million cost unforeseen in the Stage 1 business case for delivering medical imaging services mostly funded through the sale of land; an additional $15.0 million from Stage 2A to cover the budget overrun in Stage 2 due to adverse site conditions. Document miningThe audit states the cumulative effect was that Stages 1 and 2 cost approximately $42.4 million (around 14 per cent) more than they should have, once surplus Stage 1 funds are accounted for. Note the source sentence contains a typographical omission ('cost approximately $42.4 million than it should have').Machine-read
- Reason for variance
