2738 - JOBS FOR THE HUNTER

Hornery, Sonia to the Minister for Transport

Why did the Minister award the contract to build buses to a Queensland company rather than to a local Hunter region company?
Answer -

I am advised:

A trial of double deck buses commenced on 27 August 2012 using buses manufactured by BusTech, which is based in Queensland.  40 percent of BusTech's employees reside in NSW.

BusTech has in the past been awarded contracts for the manufacture of buses ordered by the previous government.
