AnswerView source ↗
I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. (1) Yes. (2) The lights will be energised as soon as Western Power receives the completion certificate from Downer Electrical and the Department of Main Roads. Hon Kate Doust : Does that mean they are going to turn them on? Hon PETER COLLIER : Yes! Hon Simon O’Brien : Sorry if that is a bit too technical for you! Hon Kate Doust : I just want to be clear! (3) Four. One is in construction, and three are awaiting completion certificates from the Department of Main Roads prior to being energised. None of these traffic lights has been waiting on Western Power, as Western Power has not yet received the completion certificates; therefore a wait time is not applicable. I will say, though, that today I have been advised that it is anticipated that the lights will be operational by midway through next week.
