Princes Highway

In reply to Mr PEDERICK (Hammond) (30 June 2023). (Estimates Committee A)

The Hon. G.G. BROCK (Stuart—Minister for Local Government, Minister for Regional Roads, Minister for Veterans Affairs): I have been advised:

The difference between the 2022-23 budget and the 2022-23 estimated result for the Princes Highway corridor upgrades, relates to:

timing for the Augusta Highway and Horrocks Pass Road junction upgrade and the proposed overtaking lane near this junction, which required further investigative and design works, and

inclement weather impacting the delivery of overtaking lanes and junction upgrades on the Princes Highway between Tailem Bend and Mount Gambier.

The Augusta Highway and Horrocks Pass Road junction upgrade and the proposed overtaking lane near this junction are subject to the 90-day review of the Infrastructure Investment Program.
