On behalf of the parliamentary secretary representing the
Minister for Transport, I thank the member for some notice of the question.
(1) (a) There
are nine billboards being considered for installation at various locations,
including on the Mitchell and Kwinana Freeways.
(b) There is
no direct installation cost of the billboards to the state government. The cost
will be met by the advertising revenue generated by this initiative.
(c) The financial arrangements are
similar but may vary from site to site.
(d) Road
safety assessments have not been undertaken yet for sites on the Mitchell and
Kwinana Freeways. These still have to be undertaken to confirm the sites are
suitable locations for billboards. A final road safety assessment is being
prepared for the Burswood site.
(2) No. The
appropriateness of the proposed locations for the billboards will be considered
as road safety assessments are completed.
