GRAIN TRANSPORT — ROADS
626. Hon COLIN TINCKNELL to the minister representing the
Minister for Transport:
I make note that this question was asked before the disaster
last weekend.
(1) Does the
state government believe that the grain transport routes are currently
sufficient to handle an expected record grain harvest year?
(2) If not, what infrastructure is
required to cater for the task, in order to reduce related road accidents,
potential fatalities and further damage to current road transport routes?
