Review of servicing and procurement strategy

The ‘interim’ phase 1 delivery of wastewater infrastructure to service up to 1,700 lots at Austral-Leppington will be delivered later then anticipated.

We received tendered costs for phase 1 that are materially higher than original estimates.

A number of factors have contributed to the cost disparity including the evolution of the design, complexity of construction logistics, compressed timeframes, environmental and heritage constraints and cost rates for deep sewer sections and maintenance holes.

The increased costs have implications for both phase 1 and phase 2 servicing costs.

We are working through the options to make a final decision on the delivery pathway to confirm proposed delivery programming.

We have provided an update to stakeholders and have collected an array of questions that we will answer and post in the frequently asked questions (FAQs) on this page in the near future.
