HIGH STREET UPGRADE —
FREMANTLE GOLF COURSES
961. Hon SIMON O'BRIEN to the minister representing
the Minister for Transport:
I refer to the McGowan government's
proposed works for High Street and Stirling Highway in Fremantle.
(1) What is the
general scope of work that will directly affect Royal Fremantle Golf Club's
course and the cost of that work and who is paying for the work?
(2) What is the
general scope of work that will directly affect the Fremantle public golf
course and the cost of that work and who is paying for the work?
(3) What
financial contribution or other assistance is the state government providing to
the City of Fremantle to offset the resumption of land on the northern boundary
of the public course and to enable the city to reinstate a full, functioning
public golf course?
Hon
STEPHEN DAWSON replied:
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1)–(3) Main
Roads is working closely with the City of Fremantle on the High Street project.
The upgrade of High Street will require land from the Royal Fremantle Golf Club
and will impact a portion of the Fremantle public golf course. Main Roads is
working with the City of Fremantle on the modifications required to enable a fully
functioning golf course. The cost of this work has not yet been determined, but
will be accommodated within the project budget.
