FREMANTLE PORT AUTHORITY
— KWINANA BULK TERMINAL JETTY
1270. Hon TJORN SIBMA to the Leader of the House representing
the Minister for Ports:
I refer to sustained and costly
port inefficiency.
(1) Will the
Fremantle Port Authority complete its business case for a new bulk jetty in
Kwinana before the completion of the Westport business case?
(2) If no to (1), why not?
(3) Will the
government make its investment decision to upgrade facilities in Kwinana before
it commits to additional expenditure on the Westport project?
(4) If no to (3), why not?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1)–(4) The
development of future bulk handling capacity at Kwinana bulk jetty and the
Westport container port project are two distinct project proposals. The
business cases for the two projects will be considered separately by the
government.
