Telstra Charges will be billed directly to Readymix Holdings Infrastructure beginning April 2003.
If services are required in the Extension Period, charges will be levied by site in accordance with the calculation methodology used to calculate the State charges above.
In addition to the above, RGL will contribute to the labour cost incurred by CSR in undertaking the migration to TPIPs. It is estimated that this cost will be approximately $80,000, which is based on the cost to CSR of a resource to undertake the project in YEM 04 apportioned by the percentage of total Australian sites that are CM sites.
