BUNBURY OUTER RING ROAD
ROUTE — PROPERTY ACQUISITION
144. Hon COLIN HOLT to the minister representing the
Minister for Transport:
I refer to questions without notice
36 and 88 and my member's statement on 19 February 2020. Main Roads WA made a commitment to the owners of 229 Yalinda
Drive on 20 February 2020 to address their concerns within 10 working
days. Main Roads has not done this.
(1) Will the
minister now direct Main Roads WA to immediately meet with the owners of 229
Yalinda Drive to discuss their concerns?
(2) If not, why not?
