Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 2003 Week 7 Hansard (26 June) . . Page.. 2702 ..
(2) In the December Quarterly Capital Works progress report the figures reveal that $79,000 of the $250,000 allocated to Minor New Works in Sport and Recreation have been spent, your response to Question on notice 533 outlines the actual expenditure as $48,383, why is there a discrepancy of $30,617.
Mr Wood
: The answer to the member's questions is as follows:(1) The completion dates of the listed projects are as follows:
Contribution to Department of Education, Youth and Family Services project for improved parking areas to service adjoining schools and sportsgrounds at Waramanga and Kaleen - two projects. Waramanga was completed in mid-February 2003 and Kaleen is due for completion in mid-August 2003.
Replacement of dilapidated fence around O'Connor Enclosed Oval. This project was completed on 27 March 2003.
Refurbishment of office area - Manuka Swimming Pool. This project is due for completion in August 2003.
Stabilisation and rectification of cracking in walls at Manuka Swimming Pool. This project was completed on 7 April 2003.
Minor irrigation improvements at Page Oval. This project was removed from the program as a result of changed priorities.
(2) The actual expenditure to 31 December 2002 is in fact $79,000 and the figures in the December Quarterly Capital Works progress report are correct. The figure of $48,383 as advised in the response to QON 533 was incorrect. I apologise for this error in the reported amount.
