WESTPORT TASKFORCE — CONTAINER TRANSPORT
540. Hon COLIN de GRUSSA to the Leader of the House
representing the Minister for Ports:
I
refer to the projected container compound annual growth rates set out in the Westport
future port recommendations—Stage 2 report: May 2020.
(1) Can the minister please table any forward
projections of container-based truck movements for the restricted access
vehicle 4 freight route based on the CAGR of 3.25 per cent specified in the
report for each financial year between 2020 and 2030?
(2) For container
imports into the port of Fremantle, what is the total number of containers that
will be moved by rail, for each of the corresponding periods in (1)?
(3) Are the
government's estimates on railed container movements based on a subsidy
arrangement; and, if so, what is the quantum of that subsidy per container and
what is the total estimated subsidy per annum for the aforementioned periods?
Hon SUE
ELLERY replied:
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
Due to the considerable level of
detail requested, it is not possible to provide the information in the time
required. I ask that the honourable member place the question on notice.
