Is re-sleepering the Noarlunga and Belair lines included as part of the $42.55 million allocation in 2008-09 and if so, why wasn’t the money spent in 2007-08 when it was announced as part of last year’s budget? The Hon. P.F. CONLON House of Assembly Elder Minister for Transport Minister for Infrastructure Minister for Energy RAIL RESLEEPERING The Hon. P.F. CONLON (Elder—Minister for Transport, Minister for Infrastructure, Minister for Energy): I provide the following information: The proposed expenditure in 2008-09 of $42.55 million on rail revitalisation delivers this year's program for re-sleepering the Belair line and for preliminary works on the Noarlunga line. The 2007-08 Budget announcement made provision for the Belair and Noarlunga lines to be upgraded over a four year program. That announcement anticipated expenditure during the second year of the program to be approximately $40 million, which is consistent with the allocation made available in the 2008-09 Budget.
