JURIEN
BAY BOAT HARBOUR
324. Hon COLIN de GRUSSA to the Leader of the House
representing the Minister for Transport:
I believe this question was
redirected from the Premier. I refer to the ongoing environmental issues with
the marina at Jurien Bay.
(1) Please detail how much has been
spent on this project to date.
(2) Given the
project was costed at $7.8 million in 2020, what are the updated costs for the
proposal to dredge the marina?
(3) Since the
minister has had an engineering solution and a final business case since at
least July 2020, when will the residents of and visitors to Jurien Bay finally
see this project completed?
Hon SUE
ELLERY replied:
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) Since 2016, $1.64 million has
been spent dredging the Jurien Bay boat harbour.
(2) A typical maintenance dredging
campaign costs about $800 000.
(3) The state
government will continue to seek funding opportunities for the proposed
extension to the harbour's northern breakwater.
