MINISTER-FOR URBAN SERVICES
LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION
QUESTION NO 892
Government Project Signs
Mr Cornwell - asked the Minister for Urban Services
(1) What is the average cost of signs identifying ACT Government projects. .
(2) How much money per annum would be so spent.
Mr Connolly - the answer to Mr Cornwells question is as follows:
(1) The cost of these signs forms part of the tendered price for the work and would generally be in the range of $500 to $1200. As the cost of the sign forms part of the competitive tender price, contractors recycle them from one project to the next where it is economically and practically feasible to-do so.
(2) The annual cost of these signs is directly related to the number of
. projects in the Capital Works programme and the nature of the projects
involved. Small non sensitive projects of short construction period may
have no sign, projects covering extensive areas may require two or
more signs. On the basis of a programme involving a variety of say
120 new projects, the cost of project signs would be in the order of
$100,000. The value of this cost needs to be measured in terms of
public information on the public infrastructure and services being
constructed and the benefits and efficiencies obtained by providing the
public with relevant contacts for enquiries on specific projects.
