    Extract from Hansard [ASSEMBLY — Thursday, 16 June 2016] p3582b-3583a Mrs Glenys Godfrey; Mr Dean Nalder GATEWAY WA PROJECT — TRAFFIC NOISE Grievance MRS G.J. GODFREY (Belmont) [9.29 am]: My grievance this morning is to the Minister for Transport. Gateway WA was designed to cater for an expected doubling by 2030 of both passenger air travel and freight and container transport in the Kewdale area. The project also helped by addressing some of the state’s most accident-prone intersections. The Gateway WA project began in 2013 and was funded with $676 million in federal government funds and $310 million from the state government. The Gateway WA project is to date the largest road project undertaken by Main Roads and I was pleased to attend the official opening in April this year along with the Prime Minister, Hon Malcom Turnbull, MP; the federal Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Hon Darren Chester, MP; the state Minister for Transport, Hon Dean Nalder, MLA; and the federal member for Swan, Steve Irons, MP. The Gateway project has produced some impressive statistics—165 lane kilometres of road constructed, 460 000 tonnes of asphalt laid, 21 kilometres of principal shared path built for cyclists and pedestrians, the planting of over one million plants, approximately 1 000 people working on the project at its peak, 11 bridges built, four new interchanges constructed, seven intersection upgrades, the widening of Tonkin Highway to six lanes between Great Eastern Highway and Roe Highway, and the upgrade of Leach Highway to an expressway standard from Orrong Road to Perth Airport.

While these indicators are a basis to what the report should include the author should be aware that they produce a report targeted at the intended report audience (it is linked to MRWA's Annual and Sustainability Report) and it should include all information necessary so that it can be read as a stand-alone report. This report is also an opportunity for the project to showcase its sustainability credentials and strengthen the project partners reputation for sustainable development. The indicators below are loosely based on the indicators of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) v4. Main Roads encourages the use of GRI principles when developing a public sustainability report for a major project and many of the indicators can be explained or defined further by referring to the information and guidance available via the GRI website.

  • Extract from Hansard [COUNCIL — Tuesday, 10 May 2016] P2484c-2485A Hon Helen Morton
    Extract from Hansard [COUNCIL — Tuesday, 10 May 2016] p2484c-2485a Hon Helen Morton GATEWAY WA PROJECT Statement HON HELEN MORTON (East Metropolitan) [9.47 pm]: I wanted to congratulate everybody involved in the very successful completion of the Perth Airport and freight access project. The project has delivered a really safe and more efficient transport network around Perth Airport and the freight and industrial areas of Kewdale and Forrestfield. The project began in 2013 and the full scope of the works was completed by the end of the first quarter of 2016. It was opened on 12 April 2016 by the Prime Minister, the state transport minister, Hon Dean Nalder, and the federal transport minister, Hon Darren Chester; many other members of Parliament were there to celebrate the very successful project. It was completed ahead of the planned consolidation of the domestic and international Perth Airport terminals, which was an important milestone for that project. The project is valued at around about $1 billion and is the largest road project undertaken to date in Perth. The federal government contributed $676 million and the state government $310 million. The Gateway WA project, as it is referred to, is a stunning success in every respect. I use that road nearly every day and marvel at how easy and safe it is, and at the pure enjoyment of travelling from Kalamunda to the city now that that project has been completed. It will be enjoyed by thousands of people for decades to come. This project is a fantastic asset for Western Australia and for all Western Australians.
