Manuwarra Red Dog Highway—Stage 4A
1172. Hon Julie Freeman to
the parliamentary secretary representing the Minister
for Transport:
I refer to stage 4
of the Manuwarra Red Dog Highway and note that stage 4A works have commenced,
including a 10-kilometre section scheduled for completion by mid-2026 and the
remaining 37 kilometres of stage 4A to commence at that time.
(1) Given that this leaves an estimated 60
kilometres remaining to complete the project, is the project on track to be
delivered within the approved budget?
(2) Noting that the 2025–26 budget papers
list final project expenditure of $81.6 million in the 2026–27
financial year, is this amount expected to fund construction of more than 60
kilometres of road?
(3) Is the project on track to be completed as
estimated by late 2027?

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) Stage 4A is intended to be
delivered within the approved budget. It is on track for completion by
mid-2027, subject to finalisation of project development.
