I thank the honourable member for
some notice of this question.
(1) (a) No road
safety audits have been undertaken at these locations. Main Roads is working
with APN to determine the proposed locations where the electronic billboards
will be installed. Main Roads will arrange road safety audits once the proposed
locations are agreed.
(b) Not applicable.
(2) Early
termination of the contract means that Main Roads would be liable to compensate
APN for the written down value of the electronic billboard infrastructure.
(3) No. Main
Roads has not yet provided a recommendation to the minister regarding the Bull
Creek station sign.
