I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) A concept design was released
to allow for early engagement with landowners. It is not a proposal.
(2) No.
(3) A referral to the Environmental Protection
Authority will follow the finalisation of the design and consideration of the Westport business case by the state government. The Westport program is
spending $20 million on environmental science and assessments to ensure a high
standard of science-based decision-making.
(4) Detailed
transport modelling will be undertaken as part of the business case process.
