 Brad BATTIN (Berwick) (14:48): (860) My question is to the Minister for Transport Infrastructure. It is in relation to what information the minister has on an environmental study into the project at Beaconsfield railway station with the new overpass. The reason I ask is that constituents have approached us. With the new project going through an area there that was protected in the past for wildlife and the wildlife community throughout Beaconsfield, since this project has started there is the emergence of echidnas, which are walking around the main street of Beaconsfield and going up the highway to Peel Street, and the movement of kangaroos and wallabies from that area. This is an area that was protected for them in the past, but I just want to know what information the minister has on that environmental research prior to this project starting for the overpass at Beaconsfield railway station.
