BUNBURY OUTER RING-ROAD STAGE 1
I refer to the “Roads to Export: Bunbury Infrastructure Investment Plan” released by the South West Development Commission, which states that the Bunbury outer ring-road stage 1 is expected to cost $130 million and is currently programmed for completion in 2013. (1) Is $130 million the expected total cost of the project? (2) Is the project currently programmed for completion in 2013? (3) If yes to (1), why do the 2010–11 state budget papers state that the total cost of the project is $59.47 million? (4) How much of the total cost of the project is being funded by the state government and how much is being funded by the commonwealth government? Hon SIMON O’BRIEN
