WESTPORT —
CONTAINER TRADE FORECASTS
790. Hon COLIN de GRUSSA to the Leader of the House
representing the Minister for Ports:
I
refer to the government's failure to provide the updated compound
container annual growth rates that underpin its decision to develop the
Westport project, as requested in question on notice 250 and questions without
notice 396 and 540.
(1) Has the government now developed
updated long-term container trade forecasts?
(2) If yes to (1), can the minister
please table the forecasts?
(3) If no to (1), can the minister please explain why
the government has not yet been able to complete these forecasts given
that the original question without notice 540 was asked more than 12 months ago
on 18 August 2021?
