Dr STONE (Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Finance and Administration) (9:09 AM)
—I move:
That, in accordance with the provisions of the Public Works Committee Act 1969, it is expedient to carry out the following proposed work which was referred to the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Public Works and on which the committee has duly reported to Parliament: RAAF Base Amberley redevelopment stage 2, Queensland.
The proposed RAAF Base Amberley redevelopment stage 2 will provide new working accommodation and infrastructure for the multi-role tanker aircraft to be operated by No. 33 Squadron; provide new working accommodation for elements of 9 Force Support Battalion; and upgrade and refurbish the base’s engineering services and infrastructure. The proposed redevelopment provides suitable facilities and infrastructure to enhance the base’s operation requirements. With the planned arrival of the multi-role tanker transport aircraft, RAAF Base Amberley will be one of the busiest Defence airfields in Australia.
The estimated out-turn cost of the proposed works is $285.6 million. In its report, the Public Works Committee has recommended that these works proceed. Subject to parliamentary approval, construction could commence late this year and be completed by December 2007. I would like, on behalf of the government, to thank the committee for its support. I commend the motion to the House.
Question agreed to.
