South Road Upgrade

859 Ms STINSON (Badcoe) (15 October 2021). With regards to the South Road upgrade reference design:

(a) When will the reference design for South Road be released publicly?

(b) When will the community reference groups see the reference design?

(c) How will the reference design be released publicly? Will local people get to see it first?

(d) Why are DIT officials showing some people who are having their homes acquired a concept design for the Cross Road to Gallipoli Underpass section while others don't have access to this? Why has the concept design not been published?

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing): I have been advised:

(a) By the end of 2021.

(b) Community reference groups have been shown elements of the reference design as these have been confirmed. The groups will be shown the full Reference Design by the end of 2021.

(c) The reference design will be released by the end of the year, with details of how it will be released being finalised. As with elements of the Reference Design that have already been confirmed, wherever possible the project will seek to first engage privately and confidentially with people who are directly impacted before any broader public announcements are made.

(d) Each impacted property owner has access to the same information, and elements of the Reference Design have been shown to the public as they have been confirmed.
