Ring around qualified locksmiths. They also vary greatly in price.

I paid about the same at a local locksmith in Brisbane.

If you've got the two original keys, the following might be an option:

Also, if you've got one of the original keys with the transponder in, tape it near the ignition barrel, & use a key cut from a normal blank to operate the ignition. Believe this works as it's proximity based.

If you don't need a transponder a local locksmith cut a test key for me on a plain blank for free when I had my royal clover key cut.
Having the royal clover key cut cost $10-$20 off the top of my head.
So for very little money I had my blank cut and a blank supplied and cut by the locksmith.

The ECU bypasses the immobiliser.

You can buy transponder keys online and get it cut by a locksmith (use a locksmith, not a Mr Minit deal).
There are a serious of tasks you can do to program a new key by opening and closing the doors, and turning on the ignition.
Unfortunately, I think you might need two keys to start with :-(
