(c-d) The dedication process is well advanced and may change access conditions. (e-f) Airstrips are located at Laverton, Cosmo Newberry, Warburton and Warakurna. I understand access to community airstrips is by arrangement. The landing facility on the road near the Tjukayirla Roadhouse is for emergencies involving the RFDS. It is not a public airstrip. (g-h) There are public health facilities in Laverton. Access to communitys' health facilities along the road would be as circumstances dictated. (i) No formal provision has been made for land along the route for roadhouses, motels or caravan parks, the provision of which will be dictated by demand. (j) Current ' Guidelines for Roadside Stopping Places ' proposes 120 kilometre intervals between rest areas in remote areas. (k) Improvement works on the Outback Highway have included construction of realignments, reconstruction of low lying sections of existing road, construction of emergency RFDS landing area at Tjukayirla, aboriginal hertitage clearances for work undertaken, detailed materials studies and examination of water sources. Main Roads has supervised the development of appropriate construction specification, design cross sections and has detailed design and ensured the construction techniques were appropriate in achieving these specifications. Realignments have been constructed in accordance with the alignment proposal plans developed from the kinematic survey undertaken in 1996/1997. A new realignment south of Cosmo Newberry was designed by Main Roads WA, in consultation with the local community and constructed in early 2000 by the Shire of Laverton. (l-m) During 1998/99 the Shire of Ngaanyatjarraku publically tendered a section of reconstruction of the Great Central Road immediately north of Warburton. All remaining work has been constructed using the Shire workforce supplemented by direct managed contractors. (n-p) As at 30 June 2001, $5 million has been expended on activities such as road construction, environmental clearances, survey, design and materials investigation for the Western Australian section of the Outback Highway. A further $3.3 million has been allocated in the Forward Estimates for further road improvement works comprised of 2001/02 $0.523 million, 2002/03 $0.8 million, 2003/04 $1 million and 2004/05 $1 million.

Improvement works on the Outback Highway have included construction of realignments, reconstruction of low lying sections of existing road, construction of emergency RFDS landing area at Tjukayirla, aboriginal hertitage clearances for work undertaken, detailed materials studies and examination of water sources. Main Roads has supervised the development of appropriate construction specification, design cross sections and has detailed design and ensured the construction techniques were appropriate in achieving these specifications. Realignments have been constructed in accordance with the alignment proposal plans developed from the kinematic survey undertaken in 1996/1997. A new realignment south of Cosmo Newberry was designed by Main Roads WA, in consultation with the local community and constructed in early 2000 by the Shire of Laverton.
