AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) This section of Tambellup West Road is a local road under the care and control of the Shire of Kojonup. It currently intersects Albany Highway on a substandard skew with substandard driver sight lines to the north along Albany Highway. Albany Highway is a state road under Main Roads control and there are long term plans to realign this section of the highway. The proposed new Tambellup West Road intersection point, in conjunction with the proposed upgrade of this section of Albany Highway, will provide sight distances well in excess of 500 metres in both directions. In the interim, pending the upgrade of the highway, the new intersection meets stopping sight distance requirements. (2) (a)-(b) Funding for the reconstruction of Albany Highway at this location will be considered as part of future budgetary assessment processes. (3) (a)-(b) Road project grant funding of $102 700, with a matching local government contribution of $51 300, has been provided in the 2001-02 program for works on Tambellup West Road. Funding was recommended by the great southern regional road group and endorsed by the state road funds to the Local Government Advisory Committee. (4) Road project grant funding is provided to local governments under the State Road Funds to Local Government Agreement 2000-01 to 2004-05. The delivery of the works is the responsibility of the local government. The work currently being undertaken by the Shire of Kojonup on Tambellup West Road is a 1.5 kilometre section of the road that completes the sealing between Tambellup and Albany Highway. It includes the improved intersection where it meets the Albany Highway intersection.
