On behalf of the parliamentary secretary representing the
Minister for Transport, I thank the member for some notice of this question.
(1) $21.467 million.
(2) $10.542 million.
(3) This is an
upgrade program, not a repair program.
(4) The main focus
of the principal shared path program in 2012–13 was design
and initiation of preconstruction activities. The remaining sections of the PSP
network are difficult projects and therefore require a greater degree of
planning and design work prior to delivery, which has caused some delay.
