ROE HIGHWAY STAGE 8 EXTENSION — JUDICIAL
REVIEW
746. Mr C.J. TALLENTIRE to the Minister
for Transport:
I have a supplementary question. Why
is the minister failing to take account of this judicial review?

AnswerView source ↗

We have followed due process in
environmental consideration of this project. When we look at what this government
has actually done, not only do we have this large offset, and not only are we
taking carbon emissions out of the environment, but we will, engineering-wise,
build a bridge across those six hectares of affected wetland. Every way I look
at it, whether socially, economically or environmentally, this is a great
project for Western Australia.
