QuestionView source ↗

I refer to the City of Swan’s resolution at the Ordinary Council Meeting on 2 March 2022 to “write to the Minister of Transport to confirm the State Government’s intention to commence the necessary process to make Lloyd Street a State Road”, and I ask: (a) does the State Government now have ownership of Lloyd Street and the Lloyd Street Bridge project; (b) if no to (a), is this process underway and when will the State Government take ownership of Lloyd Street; (c) will the State Government agree to pause all works, including clearing and infilling of the floodplain, on the Lloyd Street Bridge project until the Federal Government independent assessment of the project under section 10 of the Aboriginal and Torres strait Islander Heritage Protection Act 1984 is complete; (d) if no to (c), when will clearing and infilling begin on the site; and (e) the 2017 Jacobs traffic modelling report shows that the Lloyd Street bridge will not ease congestion, instead it will funnel more traffic into an already overloaded intersection with Clayton Road, what future plans does the State Government have to improve traffic flow in Midland given the bridge will not ease congestion?
