Clarification

From City Scene, published on 5 July 2009

Last week's City Scene story regarding council spending featured incorrect information regarding the development of Queens Wharf. The following information is accurate, and was agreed to at the council's combined committees meeting on 18 June:

"That the $84 million (option 3) Queens Wharf heritage legacy development project be approved for inclusion in the 2009-2019 10-year plan, noting council's contribution will be $56 million dollars, of which $35 million is already budgeted in the draft 10-year plan, $10 million in 2009/10 and 2010/11, and $25 million to be brought forward from 2015/16; and that there will be further work and council decisions required, including negotiations with the wharf owners, further financial review and design decisions."
