Infrastructure Australia—Assessment framework
581. Hon Dr Brad Pettitt to the parliamentary secretary representing the Minister
for Transport:
I refer to the
Infrastructure Australia webpage on Perth active transport improvements that states
"Perth has one of the lowest rates of walking and cycling commuting trips
in Australia" and that an "infrastructure audit estimated that
congestion in Perth will cost $3.1 billion per annum in 2031."
It states that the
WA Government is the "proponent" and that the next step is for the
"proponent" to identify and analyse potential investment options.
(1) Has this second stage of Infrastructure
Australia's assessment framework been completed by the WA Government?
(2) If yes to (1), what future projects are listed
for funding and what is the timeframe for these projects?
(3) If no to (1), why not?
