    Hi Ahmet,

    Sorry for the delay in response. Here are some references I found to help your team with questions 1,2 and 5:

    1) I suggest that you take a look at the Australian government’s The Fair Work Ombudsman Pay Guide – Building and Construction General On-site Award [MA000020].

    2) In TSIRC Deputation Priority Areas 2021-22 report, it was mentioned that TSIRC is seeking an estimate of $15M to undertake design construction of critical road and drainage improvement works. This document is accessible in our Resources section or at TSIRC’s website.

    5) Yes, different forms of construction materials such as gravel and cement can be imported to the island. While PNG is very close to Saibai Island, there are biosecurity requirements to import goods from PNG. Here’s a guide on Moving goods from PNG to the Torres Strait Protected Zone. You may find commercial suppliers online to get an estimate of the pricing.

    I hope this helps.

    Regards,
    Jean
