Surprise at 17m cost estimate for Opera House
The Minister for Public Works, Mr. Ryan, announced a new 17.4 million pound estimate for the Opera House at Boonelong Point, up from the previous 12.4 million. He said the rise reflects engineering and design complexities and promised detailed explanations from architect Joern Utzon while dismissing calls to cancel the project. The completion date was pushed to August 1967, a 20 month delay from the 1965 plan, and the government faces required legislation to fund the excess. Opposition leader Mr. Askin claimed total costs could exceed 20 million.
