RAIL LINES — CLOSURE — ROAD UPGRADES

repairs?

On behalf of the parliamentary secretary representing the
Minister for Transport, I thank the member for some notice of this question.
(1) The only
other formal approach Main Roads has received has been from the Shire of
Wickepin.
(2) The shire
has advised that some pavement failures have occurred on a two-kilometre
section of Lomos Road. The council is proposing
pavement repairs comprising a cement stabilised base and two-coat chip seal.
