TINDALE–NORNALUP
ROAD — GREAT SOUTHERN
267. Hon RICK MAZZA to the minister representing the
Minister for Transport:
I refer to Nornalup Road between
Rocky Gully and Bow Bridge, which is a popular and picturesque shortcut that
reduces the driving time to Denmark by 50 minutes.
(1) Is the minister aware that severe degradation of
the road surface has resulted in making it almost impassable?
(2) Which
department or authority is responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of
Nornalup Road between Rocky Gully and Bow Bridge?
(3) What is the expected time frame
to return this road to a reasonable and safe condition?
