KARRATHA —
UNDERGROUND POWER PROJECT
1049. Hon HELEN BULLOCK to the Minister for Energy:
I refer to the minister's answer to question without
notice 1014 and media reports that the Shire of Roebourne can afford to
contribute only its budgeted $21 million to the Karratha underground power project.
(1) Once the
current stage of the Karratha project is complete, is it the government's
intention that further work not continue until a commitment of further funds is
received from the Shire of Roebourne?
(2) If the
government intends to proceed with the project without a further funding
commitment from the shire, will the minister commit to funding the full cost of
the remaining stages of the project?
