HMAS Stirling —AUKUS
infrastructure
697. Hon Dr Brian Walker to the parliamentary
secretary representing the Minister for Transport:
I refer the Deputy
Premier in her role as Minister for Transport to the announcement made in
December 2024 that the Albanese and Cook Labor governments would undertake a series
of infrastructure and transport studies to inform future access to HMAS Stirling in light of AUKUS. As we approach the 10-month
mark, I ask:
(1) Has the promised study into roads,
infrastructure and local transport commenced?
(2) If no to (1), what, if any, hold-ups have
delayed it and when is the study expected to commence?
(3) When can we expect to see a report outlining
the government's commitments and plans in this space?

I thank the
honourable member for some notice of the question and provide the following
answer on behalf of the Minister for Transport.
(1)–(3) Work has commenced and is ongoing.
