Cheltenham Parade Intersection

Mr SZAKACS (Cheltenham) (14:23): My question is to the Minister for Transport and Infrastructure. Will the minister advise when the much-needed upgrade to the Cheltenham Parade-Port Road intersection will begin?

The Hon. S.K. KNOLL (Schubert—Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Local Government, Minister for Planning) (14:23): I thank the member for Cheltenham for his question. I am delighted to let the member know that there has been significant progress on this project and—hang on, we are talking about West Lakes Boulevard/Port Road/Cheltenham Parade; that's the one? There was $6 million that was in there—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! We have the question; let's hear the answer.

Mr Duluk interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Waite is called to order.

The Hon. S.K. KNOLL: Anyway, $6 million was previously provided for in the 2017-18 budget. That money has continued there in the 2018-19 budget and is continuing to be there for that project. It has taken a little bit of time to get the scope of this project correct given that it is quite a busy intersection. Some of the potential treatments out there would have been in excess of the $6 million budget.

Having said that, we have now come to a landing on the right solution for that very busy intersection. I will get a fulsome answer for the member in terms of the exact nature of the treatments, but making sure that there is better right-hand turn access from West Lakes Boulevard onto Port Road is probably the most important part of helping to improve that intersection. I can confirm that there was $6 million in last year's budget and that money continues to be there. In fact, I believe that the rollout, and the delivery of that intersection, is happening in a short period of time.
