GREAT
NORTHERN HIGHWAY ROAD WORKS — UNDERGROUNDING OF POWERLINES
618. Hon DARREN WEST to the
parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Transport:
I refer to the $81 million allocated in the 2014–15
budget for works on Great Northern Highway, Muchea to Wubin, stage 2. Will any
of these works also address the undergrounding of powerlines over Great
Northern Highway in the Bindoon township?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the
question. Main Roads has called tenders to conduct a planning study that recommends
treatment and priorities for the upgrade of all remaining sections of Great
Northern Highway from Muchea to Wubin. This study will consider the
undergrounding of powerlines.
