25. Hon PETER COLLIER to the minister representing the Minister for Transport:
Mr Langoulant is not going to be happy!
I refer to page 616 of volume 2 of the 2017–18 Budget Statements and the $84.1 million for the finalisation of Perth Freight Link.
(1) Will the minister provide a breakdown of this cost; and, if not, why not?
(2) What is the total expenditure of the cancelled Perth Freight Link, including finalisation costs?
Hon STEPHEN DAWSON replied:
I thank the Leader of the Opposition for some notice of the question.
(1) The $84.1 million comprises $60.6 million for Roe 8 finalisation costs and $23.5 million for Roe 9 finalisation costs.
(2) The total expenditure is $142.61 million, which includes: $84.1 million referred to above; $38.76 million to upgrade section 3 of Roe Highway between Tonkin Highway and Orrong Road; and $19.75 million relating to other assets retained by Main Roads WA, including environmental offsets, other land, other equipment et cetera.
