MARGARET RIVER — PERIMETER ROAD CONSTRUCTION
895. Hon LYNN MacLAREN to the
parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Transport:
(1) How many
truck movements complete a journey through Margaret River on a daily basis?
(2) What percentage of these truck movements is
due to the forestry industry?
(3) As local
surveys conducted by residents have found that only three trucks per hour on
average complete a journey through Margaret River, would this rate normally trigger
a road construction?
(4) Will the
minister provide a cost–benefit analysis of the perimeter road?
(5) How many
potential breeding trees for black cockatoos would be lost in the currently
proposed route for the perimeter road?
(6) What
alternative routes have been identified that would result in fewer black
cockatoo breeding trees being lost?

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the
question. Unfortunately, at this stage I do not have an answer due to the
Minister for Transport's parliamentary commitments in the other place.
If the answer arrives during this question time, I will provide it. This is
question C948. The same reason applies to questions C946, C935, C933 and C891;
I also do not have answers to those questions.
