I refer to the planning of the Bridgetown Bypass, and ask -
(1) Which of the six options presented does the Government want to see implemented as the most viable route for the Bypass?
(2) If the Bridgetown Council decides that option three is the most viable route will the Government abide by the Council’s decision?
(3) If the best available route is chosen, when will the construction of the Bypass commence?
(4) Given that the railway line has closed from Manjimup, the South West Highway will now have an unprecedented number of trucks coming through the main street of Bridgetown. Will the Government give the Bridgetown Bypass priority?

(1) A heavy haulage route along the railway corridor is supported in principle.
(2) Yes, in principle, as the basis for more detailed planning.
(3) More detailed work is needed to finalise the design concept, reservation boundaries, cost estimates and statutory approvals before construction can proceed. The design and construction work would take about three years.
(4) Priority for the proposed heavy haulage route will be subject to whole of Government funding commitments and priorities, and will be made in the normal budgetary process.
