To a first approximation?  Zero.

FWIW, I think the last 2G network in Australia is shutting down in March 2018

This is a totally un-researched idea, but ...

What about a machined aluminium case?

I would guess that rental of a CNC machine would not cost too much, and perhaps 
we could make an arrangement with a technical college or even commercial firm 
to use their equipment in otherwise idle times?
