ALBANY RING-ROAD —
BUSINESS CASE
769. Hon Dr STEVE THOMAS to the minister representing the
Minister for Transport:
I refer to the Albany ring-road
project, of which stage 1 was completed in 2007, with stages 2 and 3 yet to be
funded.
(1) Has the business case for stages
2 and/or 3 been completed; and, if so, when?
(2) Has the
business case for stages 2 and/or 3 been submitted to the federal government or
Infrastructure Australia; and, if so, when?
(3) If the
business case for stages 2 and/or 3 has not been submitted to the federal
government or Infrastructure Australia, when does the government expect to
present it?
Hon
STEPHEN DAWSON replied:
I thank the
honourable member for some notice of the question.
(1)–(3) Main
Roads is preparing submissions for Infrastructure Australia, seeking federal
funding to assist with the construction of both stage 2 and stage 3 of the
Albany ring-road project. The phase 1 submission, for problem identification
and prioritisation, was provided to Infrastructure Australia in October 2017.
The phase 2 submission, for initiative identification and options development,
has been completed and will be provided to Infrastructure Australia in the near
future. The phase 3 submission, for business case development, and the phase 4
submission, for business case assessment, are being prepared and will be
provided to Infrastructure Australia in late 2018.
