INFRASTRUCTURE WESTERN AUSTRALIA — FOUNDATIONS
FOR A STRONGER TOMORROW
379. Hon Dr STEVE THOMAS to the Leader of the House
representing the Premier:
I refer to the government's
Infrastructure Western Australia process and the draft strategy released last
week titled Foundations for a stronger tomorrow.
(1) What was the total cost of
developing the draft strategy, including the document released last week?
(2) Noting that
during the briefing on the document in Mandurah last week, attendees were told
that the report referenced 60 to 70 projects and programs, please provide a list
of those projects and programs and where they are referenced in the strategy.
(3) Was
Infrastructure WA required to include and endorse Labor Party policies,
including all aspects of Metronet, as a part of the strategy?
(4) Does the
Premier support the comments of the chair of Infrastructure WA that removing
the potential for the Roe 8 extension should not be done before there is
certainty that the Westport outer harbour can get approvals and proceed?
Hon SUE
ELLERY replied:
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) Infrastructure
WA's total expenditure, unaudited, for 2020–21 was $5 671
000. This expenditure covered the delivery of all of its current functions,
including its primary function to develop the draft state infrastructure
strategy.
(2) I table the document headed ''Draft State
Infrastructure Strategy Projects and Programs''. The document lists the
projects and programs that are referenced in the strategy. It includes those
projects and programs that require further investigation and review, as well as
those that are already underway by the state government.
[See paper 421.]
(3) No.
(4) The chair of Infrastructure Western
Australia did not say that.
