DIGITAL
ADVERTISING — KWINANA FREEWAY
437. Hon SUE ELLERY to the
parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Transport:
I refer to the Minister for Transport's media
statement of 23 April 2015 about the digital advertising sign on the Kwinana
Freeway.
(1) With whom does Main Roads WA
have the contract for the billboard; and who owns the billboard?
(2) Has the government been paid
anything as part of the contract; and, if so, how much to date?
(3) What
financial liability does the government have if the current billboard is not
operated and the remaining billboards are not installed?
(4) If the
billboard needs to be removed or relocated, who will bear this cost; and, if it
is the government, what will the cost be?

I thank the member for some notice
of this question.
(1) The sign was
provided as part of the licence agreement between the Public Transport
Authority and APN Outdoor Pty Ltd, and was installed by APN Outdoor. This
licence agreement permits APN Outdoor to use approved PTA sites for commercial
advertising purposes.
(2) The cost
to construct the sign is $680 000 and this cost has been borne by APN Outdoor.
Under the terms of the licence agreement the construction cost will be
amortised from PTA's share of the derived advertising revenue.
(3)–(4)
Under the terms of the licence agreement the PTA is responsible for signage
construction costs. Under the terms of the licence agreement the PTA is
responsible for the cost of relocating the sign, if this is required. The cost
of removing and/or relocating the sign if this were required is not currently
known. If the sign were to be moved, the cost would depend on whether the sign
can be relocated and what modifications are required to allow the sign to be
used at an alternative location.
