(a)-(c) As the Member would be aware, the Federal Government has recently announced a contribution of $150 million towards the Peel Deviation - Kwinana Freeway Extension project as part of the AusLink program. Details on the timing of Federal and State contributions to the project will be the subject of discussions as part of a Bilateral Infrastructure and Funding Agreement expected to be finalised in the coming months. Of Course this is less than half of the $340 Million required to complete the project. The Federal Labor team has agreed to commit $170 million, a full half share.
(d) The 2010 start date is an invention of the Member. We could start the project as early as 2007 with the cooperation and good will of the Federal Government.
