This is the question of which notice was given yesterday that could not be answered yesterday, not the question of which notice was given today that cannot be answered until tomorrow. (1) Has the government decided to demolish the Fremantle Traffic Bridge; and, if so, why, and what will replace the bridge? (2) If no to (1), is the government considering replacing the Fremantle Traffic Bridge; and why? (3) What consultation has been carried out about the future of the current wooden bridge, with whom and with what result? Hon ADELE FARINA

I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) No. (2) A number of options in regard to the future of the bridge are currently being examined. This has become necessary due to the condition of the structure and its ongoing maintenance, and the need to provide a wider navigation span for river craft. (3) A community engagement process, called a deliberative survey, is currently under way. This involves surveying a random sample of the population. Once the engagement process has been completed, the government will consider the results and any further consultation required will be undertaken prior to making a decision on the future of the bridge.
