PERTH
FREIGHT LINK — LAND ACQUISITION
438. Mr M. McGOWAN to the Premier:
I have a supplementary question. How much extra will this
project cost to take it from High Street, down Stirling Highway, across the
river, through North Fremantle and into the port?

AnswerView source ↗

Again, that is a silly question.
Mr M. McGowan : No,
it is no not.
Mr C.J. BARNETT : A
silly question—as if I have all those detailed costings .
The point is we have a budget. A large proportion of the expenditure is
commonwealth-funded; I appreciate that. The project will begin in 2016.
