BUNBURY PORT ACCESS ROAD STAGE 2
I refer to the “Roads to Export: Bunbury Infrastructure Investment Plan”, released by the South West Development Commission last week, which states that the port access road stage 2 is expected to cost $40 million and is currently programmed for completion in 2013. (1) Is the expected total cost of the project $40 million? (2) Is the project currently programmed for completion in 2013? (3) If yes to (1), why do the 2010–11 state budget papers state that the cost of the project is $65.774 million? (4) How much of the $65.774 million is funded by the state government and how much is funded by the commonwealth government? Hon SIMON O’BRIEN

I thank the honourable member for some notice of this question. I note the enthusiasm with which so many members of the Labor Party have been reading “Roads to Export: Bunbury Infrastructure Investment Plan” and using it as a source for questions. Several members interjected. Hon SIMON O’BRIEN : It does not matter whether the members are from the Bunbury region or somewhere else, surely there will not be any more questions of this nature. Surely they have a bit more imagination than that! Several members interjected. The PRESIDENT : Order, members! I know exactly who was at the launch of that document! Hon SIMON O’BRIEN : I thank the honourable member for her notice of this question. Hon Adele Farina : The rest of us didn’t get an invite! Hon SIMON O’BRIEN : It obviously rankles; does it? Hon Adele Farina : No, not at all. Hon SIMON O’BRIEN : I have never heard of it either. Hon Ljiljanna Ravlich : One last time we have to see you! Hon SIMON O’BRIEN : One! Are Hon Adele Farina and Hon Ljiljanna Ravlich bickering? Hon Ljiljanna Ravlich : No. We are as one! The PRESIDENT : Order! Hon SIMON O’BRIEN : The answer to the member’s question is — (1) No. The 2010–11 budget provides $65.7 million for stage 2 of the Bunbury port access road. (2) The project is anticipated to commence in 2011–12 and be completed in 2012–13, subject to obtaining the necessary environmental and heritage clearances. (3) Not applicable. (4) Stage 2 is fully funded by the commonwealth, in contrast to stage 1, which was predominantly funded by the state.
