I move:

That, in accordance with the provisions of the Public Works Committee Act 1969, the following proposed work be referred to the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Public Works for consideration and report: RAAF Base Amberley redevelopment stage 3, Queensland.

RAAF Base Amberley is the largest operational Air Force base in Australia. The development will sustain Amberley’s growing base population and position it to better embrace the new aircraft platforms that are being introduced and are proposed for the future.

This third stage of redevelopment will include 14 project elements encompassing fuel farm works, training accommodation, medical and dental facilities, trainee living-in accommodation, combined messing facilities, physical fitness training facilities and office accommodation. The estimated out-turned cost of the proposal is $331.5 million, plus GST.
