In November 2002 Main Roads advised that further scoping works would be carried out to confirm the viability of the Gibbs Street road alignment. Can the minister advise the House - (1) What is the current status of priority rating for this urgent project? (2) Whether funding has been allocated for the bypass work? (3) What is the Government’s planned completion date for the various stages of the project? Hon GRAHAM GIFFARD

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the member for some notice of this question. The minister has provided the following answer - (1)-(3) The need to progress the development of the Boyup Brook bypass is recognised by the Government. It is regretted and unfortunate that the works could not be accommodated in the 2003-04 state budget. As the honourable member would be aware, the proposed bypass is one of many important road projects across the State that must compete for the limited funds that are available. Notwithstanding this, Main Roads will continue to progress planning for the bypass, and the project will be listed for consideration as part of the preparation for the 2004-05 budget.
