I believe that stage 4 of Roe Highway in Beckenham is soon to be opened. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: Leader of the Opposition! Mr M.P. WHITELY: Can the minister please provide an update of how this project is progressing? Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN
AnswerView source ↗
It is with great pleasure that I respond to the member for Roleystone. He has an exceptional interest in this particular road project. For the benefit of members who are not familiar with the project, I will provide the background. Roe Highway stage 3 was completed in 1994 - Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: Member for Warren-Blackwood! Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: It is Thursday, Mr Speaker. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: Member for Hillarys! Member for Vasse! Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: It is not even after dinner and the Leader of the Opposition is getting very vocal. Roe Highway stage 3 was completed in 1994. The people of Beckenham were promised at that stage that it would mean only a temporary lull in the construction of stage 4 of the road. That temporary lull was an eight-year delay. During that time the people of William Street in Beckenham had more than 30 000 vehicles a day pouring along their residential street. From at least 1997 they were promised year after year by the previous Government that the construction of stage 4 was imminent. During the last election campaign the current member for Roleystone and I made a pledge to the community. We said that we would have the road completed by December 2002. The present Opposition when in government said that it simply could not be done. We said that we would do it. Mr M.F. Board: Who said that it could not be done? Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: It was the former member for Roleystone, who is no longer a member. We are very pleased to report that we have not let the grass grow under our feet. Members on this side of the House had a very special commitment to the completion of the highway. So keen was the member for Roleystone to ensure that those people who had been lied to time and again got a serious commitment that they could rely on, he pledged that if the road was not completed by 31 December 2002, he would resign from the Parliament. I am able to say that the member for Roleystone has honoured his promise in full. The road will be opened by the Deputy Premier and me on Sunday, 1 December, one month ahead of time, and we will celebrate with the people of William Street.

He has an exceptional interest in this particular road project. For the benefit of members who are not familiar with the project, I will provide the background. Roe Highway stage 3 was completed in 1994 - Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: Member for Warren-Blackwood! Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: It is Thursday, Mr Speaker. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: Member for Hillarys! Member for Vasse! Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: It is not even after dinner and the Leader of the Opposition is getting very vocal. Roe Highway stage 3 was completed in 1994. The people of Beckenham were promised at that stage that it would mean only a temporary lull in the construction of stage 4 of the road. That temporary lull was an eight-year delay. During that time the people of William Street in Beckenham had more than 30 000 vehicles a day pouring along their residential street. From at least 1997 they were promised year after year by the previous Government that the construction of stage 4 was imminent. During the last election campaign the current member for Roleystone and I made a pledge to the community. We said that we would have the road completed by December 2002. The present Opposition when in government said that it simply could not be done. We said that we would do it. Mr M.F. Board: Who said that it could not be done? Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: It was the former member for Roleystone, who is no longer a member. We are very pleased to report that we have not let the grass grow under our feet. Members on this side of the House had a very special commitment to the completion of the highway. So keen was the member for Roleystone to ensure that those people who had been lied to time and again got a serious commitment that they could rely on, he pledged that if the road was not completed by 31 December 2002, he would resign from the Parliament. I am able to say that the member for Roleystone has honoured his promise in full. The road will be opened by the Deputy Premier and me on Sunday, 1 December, one month ahead of time, and we will celebrate with the people of William Street.
