Materials costs: internationally traded clinker and bitumen prices
increasing in line with Asian markets and exchange rate
Payroll: average wage inflation of ~3%
Logistics: higher subcontractor cartage costs in east coast
markets due to higher demand to move tunnel material and
supply underlying markets
Energy and fuel: electricity & gas ~$20m higher in FY2018
(to be $110-$120m) and diesel usage ~100m litres p.a.
East coast quarry capacity being supplemented with mobile
