Industry body chief says no logical reason' Berwick commuter car park should cost nearly double benchmark price

The Coalition's commuter car park fund paid $115,000 a space for a project in the Melbourne suburb of Berwick, which the auditor general found was almost double the benchmark price.

Stuart Norman, the chief executive of peak body Parking Australia, has queried the price tag, telling Guardian Australia he can't see any logical reason" the project should cost so much.
