OUTBACK ROADS
In reply to the Hon. J.S.L. DAWKINS (29 May 2012).
The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, Minister for Social Housing, Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers): The Minister for Transport and Infrastructure has been advised:
The Australian Government and the State Government jointly funded a project with a total allocation of $13.73 million to address issues with the condition of the Strzelecki Track, with the project completed in December 2010.
The Strzelecki Track Upgrade works included:
constructing six sealed overtaking opportunities, each approximately seven kilometres in length, significantly reducing the risks associated with vehicles overtaking slower heavy vehicles using the track
constructing or upgrading of three rest areas and three truck parking bays
re-sheeting of four sections of road, with a total length of 54 kilometres, to improve the condition of the road surface
upgrading and stabilisation of three major floodways; and
upgrading of thirty minor floodways.
There are no plans to seal any additional sections of the Strzelecki Track at this time.
