JURIEN BAY BOAT HARBOUR — SPUR GROYNE ADDITION
763. Mr R.S. LOVE to the Minister for Transport:
I refer to the ongoing environmental
issues and fish kills in the Jurien Bay marina. When will the Jurien Bay community finally see this government take action
and deliver on the spur groynes, which the minister had designed and
costed more than two years ago; and will the community of Jurien Bay see the
$7.8 million it needs to fix the problem following the midyear economic review?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the member for that
question.
I think it is more than $7.8 million.
We had sought to get a partnership with the federal government to help try to
address some of these maritime issues across the state, which are significant.
We have not been that successful in getting funding for these types of
projects, but we continue to work to endeavour to get funding for them.
