On behalf of the Minister for Transport, I thank the honourable member for some notice of this question. There is no (3) in this response at all. Hon Lynn MacLaren : It was submitted yesterday, so maybe he did not get that one. Hon PETER COLLIER : Okay. (1) Stock Road has always been planned to be ultimately upgraded to a controlled-access highway with grade separation at some point in the future. (2) (a) There is no intention to upgrade Stock Road at this time. (b) Main Roads has plans available that indicate a possible upgrade to Stock Road. The metropolitan region scheme is based on these plans, which date back to the 1970s. Consultation will occur if and when the upgrade progresses. (c) Costs are unknown at this stage.
