1. DIISR and the Pre-construction Phase October 2011
Speaker introduction

2. What do we know about the PEP
Identifies work necessary to achieve construction readiness
$91 million required to fund the PEP
- $27m to fund the SPO - $68m allocated to work packages - reflects partner nation contributions
7 packages identified for consortia
PEP is a design study

3. What we don’t know about the PEP
How are work packages distributed?
Will the necessary funds be raised?
What is the role of the SPO?
When will industry be engaged?
What are the final design requirements?
How will intellectual property be managed?
Who will manage the Australian engagement?
How do I join a consortia?
What will procurement look like?

4. What is DIISR’s view We have no view - unanswered questions
We are interested in - how the packages will be allocated - who will lead - the role of industry
Open to models which achieve the best outcome - will work with all parties
PEP and SKA Phase 1 approach could be different
