Roebourne heavy haulage deviation route
687. Hon Julie Freeman to the parliamentary secretaryrepresenting 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?
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)–(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.
