Main Roads Western Australia advises:
(a) Pre-construction activities to facilitate delivery of the works took longer than originally anticipated which delayed actual path construction commencement. For example, the discovery of a conflicting disused sewer main which needed to be maintained necessitated a redesign of a section of the path.
(b) Work has commenced.
(c) It is anticipated that the PSP will be completed by the end of May 2012.
