ROE HIGHWAY STAGE 8 — AECOM CONSULTANCY
I refer to the consultation process on the Roe 8 extension by the AECOM South Metro Connect consulting group. (1) What is the total cost of this consultancy process? (2) Will the minister table the terms of reference for the AECOM South Metro Connect project? (3) Does the consultation process include an option for the Roe 8 extension not to be built; that is, a no-highway option? (4) If an option not to proceed with building Roe 8 through the Beeliar wetlands is not provided to participants, how can this be called a genuine consultation process? (5) Is the minister aware of a community survey of 500 residents in the South Metropolitan Region, conducted by the North Lake Residents Association in 2001, in which 95 per cent of respondents said that the Roe Highway extension should not be constructed? Hon SIMON O’BRIEN

AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) The consultancy contract is for defined services, with an estimated value of up to $10 million. (2) Yes. AECOM has been engaged under a services agreement, which I will table in a moment. However, it should be noted that the scope of work is continually developed during the course of the project. (3) No. South Metro Connect has been asked to develop a sustainable option for extending Roe Highway from Kwinana Freeway to Stock Road, generally along the existing metropolitan region scheme reserve, and progress that option through the environmental approvals process. This is in line with the government’s commitment to this project. (4) South Metro Connect will work collaboratively with the community to identify the best option within the project boundaries. Many aspects of the project can be influenced by community involvement. These include the road alignment and what it will look like; interchange and intersection locations and layouts; the passage of the road between Bibra Lake and North Lake; opportunities to improve the social and environmental aspects of the project; and the methods by which we manage social impacts, including noise impact, visual amenity and public art. (5) Yes. However, South Metro Connect will be undertaking a much broader and representative survey. I table the document to which I referred. [See paper 1421.]
