BUNBURY OUTER RING ROAD
ROUTE
216. Hon JAMES HAYWARD to the Leader of the House
representing the Minister for Transport:
I refer to the public consultation
process regarding the Bunbury Outer Ring Road project.
(1) Has the minister received requests from the
Friends of the Gelorup Corridor for a meeting with the minister?
(2) Has the
minister met with representatives of the Friends of the Gelorup Corridor?
(3) If no to (2),
why not?
(4) Will the minister ensure that the southern section
of the BORR will comply with modern highway standards , including
provisions for future rail and utilities to be routed through the corridor?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1)–(2) Yes.
(3) Not applicable.
(4) Yes. The
section will comply with modern highway standards and has provision for future
utilities. As previously advised, the design of the BORR does not preclude
potential options for future rail to Bunbury, which is the subject of
investigation by the rail feasibility study.
