Cost Estimates and Investigations
Substantial preliminary work has been done on the Highlands Source Project.
Much of the preliminary investigation has been based on the emergency pipeline detail developed prior to June 2007 by both the NSW Department of Commerce and specialist consultants Evans and Peck. The NSW Department of Commerce Drought Emergency Pipeline Route Corridor Option Study presents an analysis of pipeline route corridor options and highlighted issues. The Evans and Peck Risk Modelling of Cost Estimate reviewed the Department of Commerce Estimate and determined risks and contingencies. Subsequently there are an array of estimated prices well beyond the current estimate of the Highlands Source Project.
The current preliminary estimate for the Highland Source Project being $49.8M results from a review of the Evans and Peck estimate and the removal of some substantial cost items, which were only necessary for the emergency requirements. Council's preliminary cost estimatebased on this review is available below.
For a comparison of the costs and yields of pipeline options investigated in the Goulburn Mulwaree Water Management Strategy (such as the Pejar pipeline) refer to the PowerPoint Presentation.
Part of the ongoing costs will include purchasing water from the Sydney Catchment Authority. Available for downloading below is an extract from the Review of prices for the Sydney Catchment Authority.
