A tender for work at the Acton waterfront was poorly designed and the territory government agencies responsible for the work did not do enough to ensure they received value for money as the cost of the work grew by more than 70 per cent, an audit has found.
The Auditor-General's report into procurement and contracting for the Acton waterfront project, which formed part of the high-profile City to the Lake plan, found the government's management between 2014 and 2020 was ineffective and the initial 2014 tender poorly designed.
