WESTERN POWER - HEAVY HAULAGE OPERATORS
(1) Has Western Power customer service, or its successor, if known by a different name, framed new procedures for the granting of high-load movement permits to heavy haulage operators? (2) If so, did the issuing authority consult with heavy haulage operators about the changes, and how were operators notified of the changes? (3) Is it the issuing authority’s stance that permits for five metre-plus loads will be issued only for routes that have been surveyed within the previous two years? (4) How do haulage contractors know which routes have been surveyed and when those routes will be required to be resurveyed? (5) Will surveys be at the contractor’s expense and what will be the cost to survey a route? (6) Will costs be levied only upon the contractor applying for a permit, or will other contractors using the same route over the subsequent two years also be required to pay? Hon KIM CHANCE
