CLOHESY replied:
On behalf of the Minister for
Environment representing the Minister for Transport, the Minister for Transport
has provided the following answer.
(1) Yes.
(2)–(3) There
is currently no ongoing contract in place due to the changeover in maintenance
contracts; however, this is currently being developed. The scope of the
contract will be based on Main Roads WA undertaking a monthly inspection and
issuing a work order for sections that require work.
(4) The road was
last graded in October 2018.
