New costings released ... but where's the detail?

Perhaps as a result of some prodding, the Toowoomba City Council has released its revised costings for the proposed recycled water project.

We were promised costings which break down the entire cost of the proposed recycled water project. Here's what is now on the Toowoomba Water Futures website for the project (labelled the "explain-all cost analysis"):

Water Futures Toowoomba
Recurrent Cost ($/kl) - 0.56
Subsidy Rate (%) - 66
Annual Cost of Capital ($/kl) - 0.24
Total Cost ($/kl) - 0.80

See - just four numbers.

These four numbers represent everything the Council has just disclosed on the Toowoomba Water Futures website as part of its detailed breakdown of the project's costs.

Now does that explain where the $68 million is being spent? How much will the Visitor Centre cost? $3 million? Who could tell?

Do the ratepayers deserve a better explanation?
