BUNBURY OUTER RING ROAD
335. 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.
(1) Is the state government providing matching additional
funding for the project?
(2) If yes to (1), how much?
(3) Will the
new total budget of over $1.15 billion deliver the project to the original
scope and specifications agreed between the state and commonwealth governments
when the major contract was awarded in October 2020?
(4) If no to
(3), what changes have now been implemented?
(5) If no to
(3) but the changes to the scope have not yet been agreed, when will they be
announced?
Hon SUE ELLERY replied:
I thank the honourable member for some notice of the
question.
(1)–(5)
As the member well knows, funding decisions are confirmed and announced as part
of the state budget process.
