I thank the member for some notice
of the question. I answer on behalf of the Minister for Emergency Services, and
I note the answer is correct as at 17 October.
(1) Main Roads
requires environmental approvals and approvals from Perth Airport Pty Ltd and
associated sub-lessees to access lands.
(2) Work with the
relevant environmental authorities regarding relevant environmental offset
requirements is ongoing. Main Roads and the Department of Planning, Lands and
Heritage are continuing discussions with Perth Airport in order to reach a mutually
agreeable outcome that transfers federal land to the state.
(3) The project
delivery structure is an alliance tasked with project development as well as
design and construction. There was no agreed contractual value at award, as the
final scope of the project was subject to development and regulatory approvals.
(4) Not applicable.
