QuestionView source ↗
I refer to roads throughout regional and rural Western Australia, and I ask: (a) for each Main Roads region, how many total kilometres of road are there; and (b) how many total kilometres of maintenance and construction have been scheduled or completed in each region for the 2021-22 and 2022-23 financial years?

(a) I table page 17 of Main Roads’ 2021-22 Annual Report, which details total kilometres of state roads per region.
(b) Main Roads’ maintenance and construction work is not typically measured in kilometres, as this would fail to capture routine maintenance and capital works like intersection upgrades, construction of new rest areas, safety treatments, and passing lanes.
I table page 44 of Main Roads’ 2021-22 Annual Report, which details maintenance spend for each Main Roads region.
