(1) There are currently potential commercial sensitivities with the long-term approach to introducing a heavy vehicle user charge, as such the Perth Freight Link business case will not be released at this stage.
(2) Output from Main Roads multi-modal strategic transport model - ROM24.
(3) Modelling was based on the heavy vehicle configurations currently using the existing road network.
(4) Up to and including Austroads class 11 - as is currently permitted.
