Parliament: 40 Session: 1

NORTHLINK WA — VEHICLE DAMAGE AND NOISE MONITORING

1211. Hon SIMON O'BRIEN to the minister representing the Minister for Transport:

I refer to the NorthLink WA project.

(1) Since the project was opened to traffic, how many claims of compensation has Main Roads or its contractors received relating to damage caused by —

(a) loose surface material; and

(b) any other cause?

(2) How many claims have been settled and what is the total value of compensation payments?

(3) Will the minister table the results of the noise monitoring survey that was undertaken at the end of August; and, if not, why not?

(4) Has the minister or anyone acting on the minister's behalf been in contact with any of the affected neighbouring residents since the end of August; and, if so, how many?

Hon STEPHEN DAWSON replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. The following answer has been provided by the Minister for Transport.

(1) (a) There have been 1 273 claims. Of these, 16 incidents occurred in the previous month.

(b) Nil.

(2) There have been 686 claims settled, with a total value of $589 895.

(3)–(4) The results of the noise monitoring will be made publicly available once Main Roads has met with the individual landowners to discuss the contents directly. It is anticipated that this will occur over the next two weeks.
