It is noted that the Opposition has resisted METRONET for several years. The Leader of the Opposition Mia Davies has labelled METRONET as “not the need-to-have projects” and a “vanity project” that should be pushed back. The Member must clarify whether the METRONET Bellevue Facility is a project that the Opposition wants to cancel.
The Member will know the McGowan Labor Government currently has 9 METRONET projects underway and 1 project completed.
(a) - (i) Please refer to ministerial media statements dated 7 June 2021, 24 November 2020 and 10 March 2020.
