I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1)-(3) The Bridgetown bypass proposal was subject to a public referendum conducted by the Shire of Bridgetown-Greenbushes in September 2006. The state government gave a commitment to abide by the result of the vote. The referendum resulted in a no-vote with 56 per cent of voters voting against the construction of the proposed bypass. Given the referendum result, the council has decided to consult the local community on improvements and upgrades to the existing main street, Hampton Street. Main Roads Western Australia is assisting the council with the design process for these improvements.
