METRONET —
RAILWAY LEVEL CROSSINGS
1034. Hon PETER COLLIER to the minister representing the
Minister for Transport:
I refer to the McGowan government's
Metronet project. What is the indicative cost of each of the Oats Street, Wharf
Street, Mint Street, Welshpool Road, Hamilton Street and William Street level
crossing removals?
Hon
STEPHEN DAWSON replied:
I thank the Leader of the Opposition
for some notice of the question. The following answer has been provided to me
by the Minister for Transport.
The 2019–20 state budget
committed a total of $415 million towards the removal of the Oats Street, Mint
Street and Welshpool Road level crossings. Planning is also underway for the
removal of level crossings at Wharf Street, Hamilton Street and William Street.
