Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 749 asked in the Legislative Council on 16 September 2021 by Hon Neil Thomson

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

RAIL REALIGNMENT — KALGOORLIE

749. Hon NEIL THOMSON to the minister representing the Minister for Transport:

I refer to the proposal to realign the rail corridor through Kalgoorlie in order to enhance land availability and improve intermodal transport.

(1) Is the minister aware of the offer by the federal government to fund $2 million for a feasibility study on the condition the state provides $500 000?

(2) Is this matter now budgeted and in the state's work program?

(3) If no to (2), why not?

Hon SUE ELLERY replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.

(1)–(2) Yes. That is why $2.5 million has been allocated to the Kalgoorlie rail realignment under ''New Initiatives'' on page 584 of budget paper No 2, volume 2.

(3) Not applicable.
