It should be noted that the Member for Darling Range was a member of the Legislative Council for the East Metropolitan Region for eight and a half years. The East Metropolitan Region encompasses the Darling Range electorate and the Member did not once raise the Tonkin Highway extension in Parliament during this time.
(a)-(e) Funding allocations and timetables will be subject to future budgetary processes and further discussions and consultation will occur as project development work progresses.
