BUSSELL HIGHWAY —
BUSSELTON–CAPEL
1071. Hon COLIN HOLT to the minister representing the
Minister for Transport:
I refer to the duplication of
Bussell Highway between Bunbury and Busselton.
(1) With improved
traffic flow onto Bussell Highway from the Bunbury Outer Ring Road, will slip
lanes be installed for exit from the Capel town site onto Bussell Highway in
stage 1 to improve safety; and, if not, why not?
(2) Will slip lanes be installed in stage 2 for exit
from Sues Road onto Bussell Highway; and, if not, why not?
(3) Can the
minister please outline the community consultation conducted for stage 1 and
stage 2 of this Main Roads project?
(4) Will the minister meet Capel
representatives on site to discuss the idea of slip lanes?

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. I note that this question was provided on 8 October,
so the answer is current as of that date.
(1) The project
scope for stage 1 is for duplication of the highway between the Capel bypass,
just south of Spurr Street, and Hutton Road. The Capel town site exits are
north of Spurr Street and not within the project scope.
(2) A roundabout
will be constructed at the intersection of Sues Road and Bussell Highway, along
with an acceleration lane for access from Sues Road onto Bussell Highway.
(3) Community
consultation for stage 1 works has included meetings with relevant local
governments and engagement with adjacent local residents and businesses.
(4) Main Roads will continue to
engage with local residents on this project.
