HOVEA FALLS — PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE
665. Hon
DONNA FARAGHER to the minister representing the Minister for
Environment:
I
refer to the answer given to question without notice 1238 asked on 24 October
2019, which stated that the Hovea Falls pedestrian bridge that was
removed would be replaced in the second half of 2020.
(1) Does it
remain the government's intention to replace the previous bridge; and,
if yes, will the minister outline the new project time frame and table the
proposed design?
(2) If no to (1), why not?
Hon
STEPHEN DAWSON replied:
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) No.
(2) It is the government's intention to
replace the bridge with a universally accessible viewing platform in the
next 12 to 18 months, subject to approvals. Visitors are still able to access
the northern side of Jane Brook via a walk trail that is signposted.
