Ms O’CONNOR – Just one more question which is about the Cradle Mountain cableway. Is there a business case? We don’t support the cableway; but is there a business case and can you explain why the projected costs of the project have gone from $60 million to $190 million?
Mr JAENSCH – If you want full detail on that, you need to speak to the managers of that project, being the Office of the Coordinator-General and Mr Barnett’s State Growth portfolio.
Ms O’CONNOR – Yes, of course, it is.
Mr JAENSCH – But you know that, and you had the opportunity to do that this week. I’d encourage you to go there for that.
Ms O’CONNOR – We don’t talk to each other about Parks.
Mr JAENSCH – The cableway remains a project that we’re committed to.
Ms O’CONNOR – Who’s going to pay for it?
Mr JAENSCH – I’ve been involved with it for more than 20 years in review after review of long-term strategies, to make sure that we can provide transit solutions for visitors to Cradle Mountain that protect the mountain and Dove Lake and the experience of visiting that part of the world. Again and again, a cableway has emerged as the smallest footprint, lightest touch, most scaleable option for delivering people in and out of Cradle Valley and to Dove Lake. Our Government remains committed to that as the transit option of choice for that area, and we’ll continue to work with the federal government and seek to bring them on board and their co-contribution to making it happen.
