Reporting boundary
The original $206.8m and current $1 168.7m budgets are for materially different projects (relocation of Princess Margaret Hospital into Royal Perth Hospital buildings vs a new build at QEII); OAG states 'This is effectively a completely different project'. The $1.23 billion 2017-18 figure is an accounting capitalisation on handover, not an audited final project cost, and is on a different basis from the 2012 budget figures.
