Sorry, I can't help at all with that info. My understanding though is that  
it's fairly high (compared to international transit ex-Syd).

Yes. Two cables currently happening:

ASC by Leighton (Nextgen) is due for completion Q2 2015.

APX West by SubPartners also due for completion Q2 2015 (but appears to be  
behind as they are not "fully permitted" yet)

Here is a pretty map to look at (untick box for "active cables" to only  
see "future cables"):
