In fact, I was advised verbally that they commenced yesterday. Phase 1 consists of an upgrade to the floodways on North West Coastal Highway, south of Carnarvon. The bulk of the construction work will be undertaken in January 2007. Phase 2 involves the construction of levees from BP Palms Roadhouse to the Gascoyne River and levees north of the river. Phase 2 is expected to commence in late 2007 once environmental referrals are complete. (2) Not applicable. (3) Late 2008.
