WESTPORT TASKFORCE —
CONTAINER PORTS
1559. Hon PETER COLLIER to
the Minister for Ports:
I refer to the contract awarded to
Black Quay Maritime Consulting for research on the commercial viability and
competitiveness of multiple container ports in Western Australia.
(1) Has the research now been
completed; and, if not, when will it be completed?
(2) Will the minister table a copy of the advice,
research or report prepared by Black Quay Maritime Consulting at a cost
of $86 091; and, if not, why not?
Hon
ALANNAH MacTIERNAN replied:
I thank the member for the question.
(1)–(2) The
report has been completed and is under active consideration as part of the
multi-criteria assessment process for Westport. It will be made available at
the completion of the process.
