(b) There is no specific formulae used in allocating funds for this category of work. Rail construction projects that require tunnels under existing roads are not a common occurrence. On the occasions where a tunnel is necessary the Western Australian Government Railways would consult with Main Roads (and others) to determine the most appropriate funding arrangements. 2. There is no specific formulae used in allocating funds for this category of work. 3. The needs were identified in the planning for South West Metropolitan Railway (SWMR) and costs allocated and recorded in the overall Perth Urban Rail Development budget as shown in the SWMR Master Plan.
