BUNBURY OUTER RING ROAD
425. Hon Dr STEVE THOMAS to the Leader of the House
representing the Minister for Transport:
I
refer to the federal budget announcement last week of an additional $320 million
for the Bunbury Outer Ring Road project and the additional $80 million
added in last week's state budget.
(1) What is the
budget for the extension of Willinge Drive south to meet with South Western
Highway at the junction of Lilydale Road?
(2) Has the funding for this
section of road been included in the expanded overall budget?
(3) Noting that work on this section
of the road has commenced, when is it scheduled to be completed?
(4) Has the
funding for this section of the BORR been removed or redirected in any way;
and, if so, how much and to where?
Hon SUE
ELLERY replied:
I thank the
honourable member for some notice of the question.
(1)–(4) The budget for the Bunbury Outer Ring Road is $1.25
billion, following the allocation of additional funds as part of the
recent federal and state budgets. It is intended that the Willinge Drive
extension will be completed.
