BUNBURY INNER HARBOUR EXPANSION
198. Hon ADELE
FARINA to the parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for
Transport:
I refer to the minister's
announcement last week of $1.5 million in funding for the Bunbury Port
Authority for a design and engineering report to investigate the Preston River
realignment necessary for the expansion of the Bunbury inner harbour.
(1) Is this $1.5 million
in addition to the $3 million in funding announced last year for the same study
and report?
(2) If no to
(1), was any of the $3 million in funding announced last year actually
allocated and spent?
(3) Why has the
Bunbury Port Authority been funded for only half of the cost and how will the
balance of the cost of the report be funded?
(4) When will the report be
completed?
(5) If the $1.5 million
is in addition to the $3 million in funding announced last year, why has the
cost blown out by $1.5 million?
