The Liberal Government has successfully passed a motion in Parliament today to fast-track a road works project on the West Coast in spite of the opposition of the anti-everything Greens.
By exempting the next stage of the $8 million Murchison Highway upgrade from the Public Works Committee process, the Government has ensured that work can begin in the coming months.
This will bring much-needed jobs and activity to the West Coast.
It adds to a $5.2 million road upgrade at Strahan to support the region's growing aquaculture industry, which is expected to create 30 jobs during construction.
The Liberal Government continues to support the region through the West Coast Economic Working Group, which is progressing several key initiatives.
