QuestionView source ↗
I refer to the proposed Margaret River bypass road, and I ask —
(1) What are your department's figures for the amount of traffic that passes through the town (not figures for traffic entering and traffic leaving)?
(2) What proportion of that figure relates to trucks/heavy vehicles?
(3) What research/survey/evidence are these figures based on?
(4) Has this information been made publicly accessible?
(5) If no to (4), why not?
