WANNEROO–JOONDALUP INTERCHANGE — PROPERTY
DAMAGE
148. Mr R.S. LOVE to the Minister for Transport:
I
refer to the report in today's Wanneroo Times titled ''Time
not flying for roadworks compensation claims'', which outlines
the plight of many home owners whose houses have been damaged during
construction of the Wanneroo–Joondalup interchange constructed by CPB
Contractors and the claims that many residents still have not had their claims considered by CPB, and I understand
that they have been in touch with Main Roads as well. Will the minister
undertake to ensure that Main Roads insists that CPB Contractors finalises
these outstanding claims as a matter of urgency and report back to the house
when it is done?

I
thank the member for Moore for that question. In relation to these property
damage claims, I understand that initially the contractor was
undertaking investigations. It had done the precondition assessments and was
undertaking the assessments in relation to the property damage claims. Some of
those property owners expressed concern or dissatisfaction with my office and
me. As a result, Main Roads has identified ways to improve that, so that is
being worked through now. We are working with the contractor to ensure that
affected property owners have access to the fair process and that their
concerns are being considered. This has been raised with me and since that
time, Main Roads has stepped in to work with the contractors to make sure that
the issues are seriously considered.
