Great Northern Highway—Bindoon bypass

32. Hon Martin Aldridge to the parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Transport:

I refer to the much-anticipated Great Northern Highway–Bindoon bypass.

(1) Has stage 4 of the project gone to market, as was anticipated would occur in March 2025?

(2) If no to (1), why not?

(3) At the time of the 2024–25 budget estimates, Main Roads was undertaking a review to see if additional funding was required; has this occurred and what is the revised cost of the project?

(4) What is the current state and Commonwealth funding committed to the project and the expected timeline for project completion?

Hon Samantha Rowe replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question and provide the following answer on behalf of the Minister for Transport.

(1)–(4) Procurement planning is underway. Details of funding allocations can be found in the state budget papers.
