Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 806 asked in the Legislative Council on 13 August 2019 by Hon Diane Evers

Parliament: 40 Session: 1

LITHIUM RAIL SUPPLY CHAIN

806. Hon DIANE EVERS to the minister representing the Minister for Transport:

I refer to the minister's response to my question without notice 389 on 11 April 2019 regarding the lithium rail supply chain.

(1) Has the department's assessment of the viability of the proposal been completed; and, if so, what was the outcome; and, if not, when is the work likely to be completed?

(2) Given that mining operations are expected to see a substantial increase in the near future, when can the public expect a decision on the south west lithium rail supply chain?

Hon STEPHEN DAWSON replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.

(1) The transport portfolio is currently awaiting the outcome of work by Arc Infrastructure, including the second stage of pre-feasibility work and the business case.

(2) A decision will be able to be made following this process.
