2. What proportion of the Power and Water Authority asset value of $736,000,000.00 is represented by:

(a) the leased assets of the Channel Island Power Station, for which the Commonwealth provided a grant of $121,000,000.00 at 1981 prices; and/or,

(b) the Amadeus Basin to Channel Island Gas Pipeline, which is owned by an independent company.


ANSWER

1. The value of the Department of Transport and Works Infrastructure assets was not determined using the ABS Non-Farm GDP Price Deflator. The figure of $2.634 billion is the estimated replacement value of these assets.

The proportion of the $2.634 billion asset which was funded through specific Commonwealth roads and infrastructure grants in 1994/95 prices is 32.6%.
