The Hon. K.O. FOLEY (Port Adelaide—Minister for Defence Industries, Minister for Police, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Motor Sport, Minister Assisting the Premier with the Olympic Dam Expansion Project):

1. Thirteen subcontractors were involved. Settlement has been made with twelve of the subcontractors upon the South Australian Fire and Emergency Services Commission (SAFECOM) receiving sufficient evidence to demonstrate completion and cost. SAFECOM is waiting on additional evidence from the thirteenth subcontractor to justify their claim.

2. Sarah Constructions were paid a fee of $134,050 (+GST) to complete the three stations at Wilmington, Hamley Bridge and Balaklava. Payments were also made to Sarah Constructions for payment of subcontractor invoices on these projects consistent with their role as construction manager.

3. $2,861,532.
