FREMANTLE TRAFFIC BRIDGE — BUSINESS CASE
396. Hon PETER COLLIER to
the minister representing the Minister for Transport:
I refer to the media release dated 22 April 2019 announcing
funding for a new Fremantle Traffic Bridge.
(1) Was a business
case prepared for this project prior to the government committing funding; and,
if not, why not?
(2) If yes to (1), will the minister table a copy of the
business case; and, if not, why not?
(3) Has any
documentation been provided to Infrastructure Australia in support of the new
Fremantle Traffic Bridge?
(4) If yes to
(4), will the minister provide a list of the documents that have been provided
to Infrastructure Australia; and, if not, why not?
Hon STEPHEN DAWSON
replied:
I thank the Leader of the Opposition for some notice of the
question.
(1) Yes.
(2) Submissions made through the Infrastructure Australia
process can be tabled in due course.
(3) Yes.
(4) Submissions
were provided by the McGowan government through the Infrastructure Australia
process, which resulted in the project being
listed as a national priority on its annual infrastructure priority list. These
include documents such as stage 1 Infrastructure Australia submissions and
supplementary information.
