Athllon Drive duplication (Question No 376)

Mr Cornwell asked the Minister for Urban Services, upon notice:

In relation to funding for the Athllon Drive duplication (between Drakeford Drive and Isabella Drive):

Has the original $11 million funding for this duplication as announced by the former Liberal Government been reduced;

Is this capital works project still going to duplicate the road from Drakeford Drive through to Isabella Drive, or will this duplication end at Reed Street (south) as implied in your press statement of 5 February 2003;

Is the $8.2 million figure quoted in your press statement of 5 February a figure for the works from Drakeford Drive to Reed Street only, meaning the remaining amount of $2.8 million is for the duplication through to Isabella Drive;

How much funding has been expended to date on this project?
