QuestionView source ↗
I refer to the Mowen Road project between Margaret River and Nannup and given the increased visitation to the area by tourists, I ask -
(1) What is the timetable for the sealed status construction of Mowen Road between Vasse Highway and Sues Road?
(2) What funding has been allocated to the road project over the next five years?
(3) What is the estimated completion date for the sealing of the remainder of Mowen Road?
(4) Which Government Department or Local Government will be responsible for the completion and ongoing maintenance of Mowen Road?
(5) Given the importance of Barrabup Pool as a tourism attraction, are funds being made available for the sealing of the section of entry road to the Barrabup Pool?
(6) If not, why not?
