The government is absolutely committed to the Perth Freight Link and the project will provide the missing link in Perth's urban transport corridor by connecting the main industrial areas with the Fremantle port. It will reduce travel times for heavy vehicles, improve safety along arterial roads and create 2,400 jobs.
A 30-page summary business case was publicly released in December 2014, which details a breakdown of the benefit cost analysis results; the problems the project will resolve; the current challenges facing WA and its freight system; and the scope of the project.
The project is undergoing an extensive and rigorous environmental approval process. Conditional environmental approval for the Roe Highway extension component of the project was granted on 2 July 2015—a reflection of the significant care that has been taken to minimise the project footprint.
The proponents of the Perth Freight Link are ignoring the multiple economic benefits the project will deliver for Western Australia.
