GRAIN FREIGHT NETWORK — ROADWORKS
794. Hon KEN TRAVERS to the parliamentary
secretary representing the Minister for Transport:
I refer to the
roadworks being undertaken by local governments as part of the grain freight
network.
(1) Have any
shires that are undertaking the roadworks advised the government that sections
of the roads need to be completely rebuilt rather than just widened on the
edges?
(2) If yes to
(1), which shires and for which sections of the roads?
(3) Why did
the government not provide the funds to completely rebuild those sections of
road?
(4) Who will be
responsible for the cost of repairing any damage to these sections of road?
