(2) N/A (3) The priority of the Bunbury Outer Ring Road will be determined once a detailed traffic analysis of growth and future congestion is completed in early 2008. (4) No as it is not yet funded. However the road is protected in the Draft Greater Bunbury Regional Scheme and as such has been accepted as a future road need. (5) Yes (a) The route is recorded in the Draft Greater Bunbury Regional Scheme and can be viewed on the following website: http://www.planning.wa.gov.au/publications/gbrs/index.html (b) N/A (c) N/A (6) The estimated cost is $210 million (2007 dollars). (7)-(8) The Federal Government has yet to include the Bunbury Outer Ring Road as part of its AusLink National Network despite the obvious significance of the project for the safe and efficient operation of road transport to the Bunbury area. Until the Federal Government includes the Bunbury Outer Ring Road in the AusLink Network they say it will not be eligible for Federal funding under the AusLink Investment Programme. The same Federal mentality has also excluded Brand Highway and North West Coastal Highway from the AusLink National Network, completely ignoring the significant contribution the Ports of Geraldton and Dampier make to the national economy. I have written to Minister Vaile outlining pressure across Western Australia because of the phenomenal growth being experienced in our State and this included specific mention of the Bunbury Outer Ring Road. It appears to have fallen upon deaf ears. Any influence the Member for Bunbury can bring to bear on his Federal colleagues to include the Outer Ring Road in the AusLink National Network would be appreciated.
