The full cost of the Bureau of Meteorology’s website overhaul was approximately $86m, Guardian Australia can reveal, after years of delays and millions in cost blowouts.

Consulting firm Accenture received $78m in a contract for the website aspect of the overhaul. BoM has faced criticism in the past few years for the nine contract extensions made on the Accenture contract – which was originally supposed to cost $31m.

Deloitte also received $35m for its work on the site – a contract that was originally supposed to cost $11m.
