Mr Wood

: The answer to the member's questions is as follows:

(1) All playgrounds in Package 2 have been completed except Chippendale Circuit, Theodore. The delay for completion of this playground is due to a decision to carry out more extensive works than was originally planned for this playground. The expected completion will be mid August 2003.


The construction tender for package 3 has been awarded. Completion of Package 3 is expected in early to mid September 2003. Completion of Package 3 has been delayed due to longer than anticipated manufacture time for play equipment.
