(2) Does the Treasurer believe that the Government’s funding proposal provides sufficient funds to enable the Shire of Busselton to maintain the Jetty in a ‘like new’ condition for the next 50 years?
(3) If yes to (2), can the Treasurer provide financial analysis to support his view?
(4) If no to (2), can the Treasurer state what will be the shortfall to be funded by the Shire of Busselton over the next 50 years, the shortfall being the difference between the Jetty maintenance cost (for the next 50 years) and the surplus from the Jetty operations (for the next 50 years), which is to be directed towards Jetty maintenance?
