(b) how much is being contributed each by the State and Federal Governments; and (c) when is construction due to commence and due to be completed?
(c) when is construction due to commence and due to be completed?
(b) State funding - $5.6 million. The original Commonwealth allocation for this project was $10.5 million. However, strong lobbying by the State Government demanding a fairer share of overall AusLink funding for WA has resulted in an additional $52 million worth of road and rail projects across Western Australia under AusLink. Of this, an additional $11.9 million will now be allocated to the project bringing the total Commonwealth allocation to $22.4 million. Although this increase is welcome, Western Australia is yet to receive its fair share of AusLink funding and we will continue to fight for a better deal. (c) Subject to the necessary planning and environmental approvals and confirmation of funding arrangements, it is anticipated that construction could commence in 2007/08 and be completed in 2008/09.
