ROE HIGHWAY STAGE 8 — FEDERAL FUNDING
807. Ms R. SAFFIOTI to the Minister for
Transport:
I refer to evidence provided in the
federal estimates committee yesterday in which a federal government senior
representative stated that federal funding for Roe 8 will only be available on
the basis of progress of stages 1 and 2 of the Perth Freight Link project.
(1) Has the minister or his agency
received this advice?
(2) Does the
minister still stand by his government's claim last week that it has
secured $319 million of federal funding for Roe 8, even in the absence of any
commitment to stage 2?

I thank the member for West Swan for
the question.
(1)–(2) I
can confirm that last week, when we announced the Roe 8 project, it was a joint
media release between me and the commonwealth Minister for Infrastructure and
Transport. We spoke before we released it, we agreed on it, and I am fully
confident that the federal transport minister will honour his commitment to
support the funding of the project.
