The Minister attended:
8.00am – Inspect NorthLink works at Muchea
9.00am – Inspect Great Northern Highway works at Muchea

4.00pm – Launch of the Revitalising Agricultural Region Freight Draft Strategy and Wheatbelt Secondary Freight Route
The Minister was accompanied by: Policy Adviser, Media Adviser, Main Roads representatives, Hon Darren West MLC
Noting that ministers of the former Liberal-National Government routinely did not provide local members this courtesy, it was identified that a process error occurred within the administrative functions of the office which resulted in notification of a Ministerial visit failing to occur.
