I thank the
honourable member for some notice of the question and provide the following
answer on behalf of the Minister for Transport.
It is $816 million. Main Roads continues to prioritise
funding from the available budget for high-priority maintenance activities
to manage risk. Redirecting resources to lower priority areas would elevate
risks to asset preservation, safety and reputational damage.
