RAIL ELECTRIFICATION PROJECT

In reply to the Hon. I.F. EVANS (Davenport) (26 June 2013).

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier, Treasurer, Minister for State Development, Minister for the Public Sector, Minister for the Arts): I have been advised of the following:

Unspent commonwealth funds for the Gawler electrification project at 30 June 2012 were $41 million. The commonwealth directed that $10 million be used for the Seaford rail line project. Taking into account additional minor works and interest, $31.6 million was returned to the previous commonwealth government. The commonwealth government subsequently pledged $76.2 million for further work on the Gawler line.
