There is 22 717-200s stored in victorville waitng new owners. Source wiki.
So Cobham may not want to stop at 13 (unlucky number) and bring over more from the U.S.
Out of the current 717 fleet bases:
1 CNS
3 DRW
7 PER (their biggest)
QF plan to deploy the larger 738s on more of the PER-PHE/KTA/BME runs so this could free up the 717s to be redeployed to BNE. Add the Q400 flights to KGI could also replace some 717 flying.
