AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for some notice of this question. (1)–(2) No. (3) The proposed construction of a grade-separated crossing for Davis Road is part of the Kelmscott redevelopment project being undertaken as a partnership that includes the Armadale Redevelopment Authority, the City of Armadale, the Public Transport Authority and Main Roads WA. Main Roads has recently completed preliminary design work associated with the crossing and surrounding road network design for the project to enable an accurate estimate of cost to be prepared. This will enable the project to be considered for funding in future state budgetary processes. The updated project cost totals $72 million. A business case has been prepared. I am advised by Main Roads that the Armadale Redevelopment Authority is seeking to supplement the business case with an impact analysis on the business benefits to Davis Road to assist government funding consideration. The $72 million project cost assumes construction will commence in 2013.
