4369 - NEWCASTLE INNER CITY BYPASS

Hornery, Sonia to the Attorney General, and Minister for Justice representing the Minister for Police and Emergency Services, Minister for the Hunter, and Vice-President of the Executive Council

Has the Minister made a submission to Infrastructure Australia that Stage 5 of the Newcastle Inner City Bypass should be considered as a priority project?

    1. If not, why not?
    2. If so, when was the submission made?
Answer -

The project is identified in the Hunter Strategic Infrastructure Plan (HSIP) due for submission to the Commonwealth Department of Infrastructure and Transport by end of September 2013.

The Government has worked with the Commonwealth on the HSIP to develop a comprehensive overview of the strategic, long term infrastructure needs for the Lower Hunter region, and a platform for negotiations with the Commonwealth on the future infrastructure funding priorities.

The HSIP identifies the Newcastle Inner City Bypass Rankin Park link as a priority infrastructure project for consideration by the Commonwealth. The HSIP notes that completion of the project is dependent on further planning and funding.
