AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) Yes. The bypass is on the Manjimup-Mt Barker Road and is considered a high priority. (2)-(3) No funds have been allocated in the 2003 state budget and forward estimates for consideration of the Mt Barker northern bypass. However, $170 000 is available in the Main Roads program for continuing pre-construction activities so the project can proceed when funding becomes available. Funding for construction will be considered as part of the 2004 budget deliberations.
