(b) if not, why not; (c) is the Minister aware that the immediate sale of 68 Government-owned properties along the highway would yield some $17 million for the Government for use in much-needed areas of Government spending; and (d) will the Minister also concede that cancellation of this reservation will remove from over the heads of private property owners a long-standing impediment to improving/upgrading of such properties?

(d) will the Minister also concede that cancellation of this reservation will remove from over the heads of private property owners a long-standing impediment to improving/upgrading of such properties?
(c) A preliminary assessment of Canning Highway between the Causeway and Canning Bridge supports planning for a four lane divided highway with cycle facilities and public transport priority. Six traffic lanes will not be required. While this will lead to a reduction in the existing Metropolitan Region Scheme reservation in some places, some of the existing reservation will be required for transport improvements along the highway. The level of funds likely to be realised from the sale of surplus Government owned land will depend on the outcomes of the planning study. (d) Government is keen to ensure that the reduced highway reservation will minimise impacts on adjoining properties along the highway to achieve the desired amenity and renewal objectives. The proposed detailed planning study will ensure that planning for future transport improvements is integrated with the urban design form, heritageand land use planning objectives along the highway.
