QuestionView source ↗

I understand that given the minister is proposing to delete the Fremantle eastern bypass from the metropolitan region scheme and that there are major community concerns about the impact of increased freight transport on metropolitan roads, the Fremantle City Council is considering a proposal to establish a curfew on freight routes into and out of Fremantle port. (1) Is the minister aware of this proposal? (2) If so, is she proposing to support or oppose the proposal? (3) If she is aware of the proposal and intends to support it, has she instructed her agency to carry out any short or medium-term study to assess the effect of the curfew, along with the projected increase in freight traffic in and out of the port?

(1)-(3) I am not aware of any move in this regard by the City of Fremantle. I suspect that if the member really wanted to know the answer to the question she would have given me some notice of it.
