PRIME MINISTER
FOR MEDIA 23/ 6/ 83
The Commonwealth Government today offered to reimburse the
Queensland Government for all expenditure on agreed works on
the Burdekin Dam project in the current financial year up
to $ 6.5 million.
The payment will be made by way of a non-repayable grant.
The Commonwealth Government expects shortly to approach the
Queensland Government to begin negotiations for the future
funding of the project.
i understand that to date this year the amount spent on the
Burdekin Dam has been approximately $ 4.8 million, including
consultants fees and a range of preliminary works associated
with the project.
The grant will cover those aspects of -the project which the
Commonwealth, following discussions with Queensland, has already
indicated that it is prepared to reimburse.
I today asked the Queensland Premier for an early reply to the
Commonwealth offer, to enable ioavments of financial assistance
to be made before the end of this financial year.
