I am advised:
(a) The Department of Health has been working with several government agencies to clarify elements of the project, including the final design, ownership and ongoing maintenance of the Kings Park Link Bridge. A construction and completion schedule had not been finalised at the time of submitting its annual report.
(b) The governance of the Kings Park Link Bridge project was transferred to Main Roads WA on 20 September 2019. Main Roads WA will construct, own and maintain the bridge and has established a multi-agency steering committee, which includes WA Health, for this project.
(i) The final construction schedule will be determined at the completion of the tender process for the construction of the bridge. Main Roads WA, with support from WA Health and several other government agencies, will be managing the Kings Park Link Bridge project, including the final design and tendering for its construction.
