TIER 3 RAIL LINES — BUSINESS CASES
241. Hon
Dr STEVE THOMAS to the Leader of the House representing the Minister for
Transport:
I
refer to my question without notice 194 on whether tier 3 lines will be
reopened, which I asked yesterday 22 March but which was not really
answered, and I am forced to ask this question again.
(1) Has the
business case for the Quairading to York proposed tier 3 line been completed;
and, if so, when was it completed?
(2) If yes to
(1), when will it be made public?
(3) Has the
business case for the Kulin via Yilliminning to Narrogin proposed tier 3 line
been completed; and, if so, when was it completed?
(4) If yes to
(3), when will it be made public?
(5) Has the business case for the Kondinin via
Narembeen to West Merredin proposed tier 3 line been completed ; and, if
so, when was it completed?
(6) If yes to
(5), when will it be made public?
(7) This appears
to be a misprint on my page, but I will ask it anyway: if yes to (1), which of
the business cases have been submitted to
Infrastructure Australia and when were they submitted? It might be a misprint
on my page, and might be on the minister's as well.

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the
honourable member for some notice of the question.
(1)–(7) As stated in previously answered questions, the WA
agricultural supply chain improvement stage 2 options assessment
business case has been finalised and is expected to be submitted to
Infrastructure Australia soon. The projects in question have been incorporated
into the business case process. In line with standard Infrastructure Australia
processes, an evaluation summary of the business case will be made publicly
available once the assessment is complete.
