An investigation has been done into the merits of LPG gas usage in order to identify approximate costs and payback periods. Based on the level of kilometres done by passenger vehicles the viability of LPG use appeared limited. The three commercial vehicles, however, travel significant kilometres and the viability of utilising LPG fuel, as either a primary or secondary source, will be reviewed when these vehicles come up for replacement in early 2001.
Ministry for Culture & the Arts
None.
Perth Theatre Trust None.
Screenwest None.
WA Museum The Museum's passenger vehicles that travel significant kilometres in the country will be reviewed for use of LPG fuel when replacements are due. However, the Museum will have to investigate the availability of LPG in country areas.
