Roebourne heavy haulage deviation route
687. Hon Julie Freeman to
the parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Transport:
I refer to the
proposed Roebourne heavy haulage deviation route, for which project development
began in 2022, followed by community consultation in 2023, and note that there
is no budget allocation this year or in the out years. Given that the project
is intended to improve road user safety, I ask:
(1) What steps have been taken to secure funding
for the project?
(2) What is the current timeline for the
progression of the project?
(3) How has community
feedback from the 2023 consultation been incorporated into planning?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the
honourable member for some notice of the question and provide the following
answer on behalf of the Minister for Transport.
(1)–(3) As with
all projects, the Roebourne heavy haulage deviation route is subject to the regular
budgetary process. Feedback from the community has been consolidated and
will be considered as part of the design and development process.
