BUNBURY OUTER RING ROAD
449. Hon Dr STEVE THOMAS to the Leader of the House
representing the Minister for Transport:
An error in the budget; okay!
My question is to the Leader of the House
representing the Minister for Transport.
I
refer to the federal budget announcement last week of an additional $320 million
for the Bunbury Outer Ring Road project
and the additional $80 million in last week's state budget, and to the
minister's refusal to answer my question without notice 425
asked yesterday, so I will ask again.
(1) When will the
extension of Willinge Drive south to meet with South Western Highway at the
junction of Lilydale Road be completed?
(2) What is the costing for this
section of the BORR?
(3) Is the full level of costing for this section,
which will hopefully be identified in a proper answer to part ( 2) today,
fully funded?
(4) If no to (3), what level of
funding now applies to this section?

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1)–(4) As outlined in the previous answer, it is the
government's intention to deliver the Willinge Drive extension as part of the Bunbury Outer Ring Road scope. The current budget for the
Bunbury Outer Ring Road is $1.25 billion. If additional funding is required in
the future to deliver the project, additional funding will be sought.
