(2) Will that cost take this project over budget;
(3) Could you please provide me with copies of the old plans and new plans to highlight what changes will take place with construction;
(4) Why was the position of the tree not taken into account in the original design of the project.
Mr Wood: The answer to the member's questions is as follows:
(1) The re-design option to retain the old growth tree cost $25,000.
(2) The re-design cost will not take the project over budget.
(3) I will provide you with copies of the old and new plans.
(4) The location of the tree was taken into account in the original design. As the tree was on the alignment of one carriageway its removal was initially considered appropriate.
[Plans attached to the reply were lodged with the Chamber Support Office.]
