QuestionView source ↗
I refer to the decision not to proceed with the construction of a saleyard at Muchea, due to unacceptable cost increases in its development, and I ask –
(1) What are these unacceptable cost increases?
(2) Exactly how much are these increases?
(3) Have they been caused by the minimum three-year delay in the Minister’s decision-making process?
(4) Have they been caused in any way by Muchea being –
(a) a sensitive environmental water catchment area; and
(b) in an area that will cause greatly increased numbers of large livestock transport vehicles accessing metropolitan roads?
(5) Have these increases been caused in any way by the following –
(a) lack of close proximity to an adequate supply of livestock;
(b) lack of adequate roads for their delivery;
(c) lack of ability to provide co-located feedlots;
(d) lack of population;
(e) lack of public facilities; and
(f) lack of essential services?
(6) Is the Treasurer aware that most Eastern States saleyards –
(a) are in regional areas;
(b) are a rural industry where they should be i.e. located in rural areas; and
(c) have a major component of private investment?
(7) How long will it be before the Treasurer decides to argue for the additional funding required –
(a) to develop the Muchea saleyard; or
(b) to relocate the saleyard to a more economically, geographically, demographically and environmentally acceptable location to save capital cost?
(8) How much will this delay cost the taxpayer?
