I've ordered all 3 OEM pulleys along with new belts from BMA in the states (much cheaper than prices here in Aus). Can I re-use the belly pan bolts or are these a 'one time' use item?

Reuse of the pan bolts is the subject of major debate on these boards and others. You can reuse them, but the book says not to. Suggest you get the Bentley manual as there are very specific tightening procedures for these bolts.
Also, it's not really necessary to remove the pan to do the work, only the plastic shield between the bumper and pan. Removing the pan doesn't actually give you any more access.
