BINDOON BYPASS —
GREAT NORTHERN HIGHWAY
1104. Hon MARTIN ALDRIDGE to the minister representing the
Minister for Transport:
I refer to the Bindoon bypass on the
Great Northern Highway.
(1) Have all environmental approvals
for the southern section been attained?
(2) Is total land
acquisition for the southern section of the project on track for stage 4 to go
to contract in March 2025?
(3) What is the total cost of the
project to date?
(4) Noting that
civil works on the northern section are ongoing and works are yet to start on
the 46-kilometre southern section, has the state government considered the
likely shortfall in funding?

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. I am just seeing this for the first time.
(1)–(4) All
required environmental approvals have been attained for the southern section,
and land acquisition is on track. Estimated expenditures to date for Main Roads
Western Australia projects are contained within the state budget papers. An updated cost estimate for the southern
section is currently underway to determine whether additional funding is
required. We will see whether I can get the information about the estimated
cost for the member.
