I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1)-(2) Actual and approved budget capital works program expenditure for the Albany Port Authority is as follows: 2001-02, $10.646 million; 2002-03, $455 000; 2003-04, $211 000; 2004-05, $320 000; 2005-06, $6.535 million, including a $3.785 million grant for the Princess Road rail access flyover, which will now be expended in 2006-07; and 2006-07, $750 000. The budgets for 2007-08 and 2008-09 will be determined as part of subsequent budget rounds. (3) No reduction is expected in the capital works funding approvals given to the Albany Port Authority for the years 2006-07 to 2008-09. Indeed, should the Grange Resources iron ore project proceed, there is likely to be an increase in capital works expenditure.
