TIER 3 RAIL LINES — BUSINESS CASES
990. Hon Dr STEVE THOMAS to the Leader of the House
representing the Minister for Transport:
It feels like a Thursday,
President!
I
refer to my questions without notice 317, 340 and 565, asked on 22 and 23 June
and 31 August 2021, on the business cases
being developed by the government for three tier 3 rail lines, and to the five
months that have passed since the time of my initial question.
(1) Are the business cases finally
completed for all or any of these three lines; and, if so, which ones?
(2) When are the business cases due
to be given to the government?
(3) What is the
deadline for the current funding round associated with submitting the cases to
Infrastructure Australia for consideration?
(4) Which
entities, agencies, departments and/or consultants are preparing the business
cases, and was a time frame imposed upon the preparation of each business case?
(5) When will the three business
cases be made public?
