PERTH FREIGHT LINK
779. Hon LYNN MacLAREN to the
parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Transport:
I refer to the minister's comment in the other place
on 20 May 2014 in which he stated that the total state government contribution
to the Perth Freight Link would be $260 million.
(1) Following
lack of investor interest, the state government's contribution will now
be at least $650 million. From which part of the state budget has the extra
$390 million been raised, and with what impact on other areas of government
expenditure?
(2) Given that
the minister last month acknowledged the need for the link to extend across the
Swan River if it is to reach port of Fremantle, from which part of the state
budget will the further $250 million or more required for a bridge be derived,
and with what impact on other areas of government spending?
