Ms Fitzharris: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) Late 2018.
(2) Various contract modifications have been made as opportunities for more efficient project delivery or better user outcomes have arisen, and as design development has continued. The effect of the variations has been to enhance the delivery of, or user outcomes from, the project. Those variations have been adjudged to be necessary or desirable by the ACT Government. They have occurred at various times.
