TIER 3 RAIL LINES —
BUSINESS CASES
194. Hon Dr STEVE THOMAS to the Leader of the House
representing the Minister for Transport:
I refer to my questions without
notice asked on 22 and 23 June 2021, 31 August 2021, 17 November 2021 and 17 February
2022 on the business cases being development by the government for three tier 3
rail lines, and to the nine months that have passed since that time of initial
questioning.
(1) Are the
business cases for each of the three proposed tier 3 lines—that is,
Quairading–York, Kulin via Yilliminning to Narrogin, and Kondinin via
Narembeen to West Merredin lines—finally completed for all or any of
these three lines?
(2) If yes to (1), which of those
lines have completed business cases?
(3) When will the business cases be
made public?
(4) If yes to
(1), which of the business cases have been submitted to Infrastructure
Australia and when were they submitted?
Hon SUE
ELLERY replied:
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1)–(4) The
WA agricultural supply chain improvement stage 2 options assessment business
case has been finalised and is soon to be submitted to Infrastructure
Australia. In line with standard Infrastructure Australia processes, an
evaluation summary of the business case will be made publicly available once
the assessment is complete.
