(a)-(c) Main Roads has advised that the provision of this detailed information would require considerable time, which would divert staff away from their normal duties.
This request would cover hundreds of roads that Main Roads has contributed to upgrading over the course of a decade. Compiling this information is not considered to be a reasonable or appropriate use of government resources.
If the Member has a query on a specific road and location, the Minister can accommodate this request.
