I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1)–(4) No
income assessment has been undertaken as access to Drovers Market Place has
been retained from both Wanneroo Road and Joondalup Drive throughout the
construction phase. In response to feedback from business owners, access
arrangements have been incorporated into other project communications. If
businesses wish to submit a business claim, advice on that process is available
on the Main Roads Western Australia website.
