I thank the member for some notice of this question.
(1) The
project is part of Water Corporation's long-term planning to secure
water services for Perth. Current planning indicates it will not be required
for at least 20 years.
(2) Yes.
(3) Yes,
because the Perth–Peel strategic assessment process will ensure a
coordinated, whole-of-government approach to planning infrastructure.
