..."This road project needs to be completed because of motorist safety and the potential for damage to private property," Mr Hartsuyker said. "independent engineers have undertaken a geotechnical assessment of the road itself plus the adjacent embankments. "they have advised council the bulk of this section of road was given a hazard rating of 'possible failure', with large sections rated as 'likely to fail' and one section as 'almost certain to fail'. "the upslope embankments are also unstable and lined with private dwellings. "sections slip on a regular basis in reasonably heavy rainfall events. the road carries traffic in excess of 6,000 vehicles per day." mr hartsuyker said he's pushing for the coalition to assist the nambucca shire council with the cost of repair, should it form government after the federal election. "i understand nambucca shire council does not have the financial resources to address this problem as a single works project," he said. "their only option is to address small sections in order of risk over many, many years. resuming private property is not a feasible option based on cost. "the problem area needs to be completely stabilised and the worst section of road around the tidal flats reconstructed.""

..."The new projects had a cumulative cost of more than $3 billion," Mr Hartsuyker said to the House. "such a substantial commitment would be very welcome, if only it could be believed. "despite minister's albanese media release, when you go through last night's budget papers there is not one mention of the pacificpacific hwy and not one extra dollar of funding detailed in the 2013-14 budget papers. "there is not one mention of the pacificpacific hwy in the budget papers, yet there is a media release from the minister claiming that more than $3.3 billion in projects is set to commence. "the government is treating north coast residents as mugs. "they are playing with people's lives, all for the sake of a headline." mr hartsuyker contiunued by stating funding for future projects on the highway is in limbo because of a stand-off between the commonwealth and the new south wales government. "when the o'farrell government was elected to office, federal minister albanese immediately tore up the 80:20 pacific highway funding model which had previously existed between federal labor and the state labor government," the cowper mp said. "instead the minister began insisting on 50:50 funding and as a result there is a $4 billion funding black hole which has to be filled if the road's duplication is to be completed. "since changing the funding arrangements we have seen the federal government concoct all sorts of excuses for changing the funding model. "the most recent came from the federal member for page who was put onon the spot after the gillard government announced that it would fund upgrades to the bruce highway based on the 80:20 model with the queensland government." mr hartsuyker fired a broadside at the member for page, janelle saffin, and imdependent mp for lyne, rob oakeshott, when it came to the current funding for the strip of road often referred to colloquially as the 'black ribbon of death'. "the member for page and the member for lyne, who have been conspicuous with their silence about the absence of any mention of the highway in the 2013-14 budget papers, must give north coast residents a guarantee that funding for the highway will not be cut or deferred," he said. "they should explain how each project, which the minister claims are set to commence, will be funded in the next financial year." mr hartsuyker said the coalition would restore the 80/20 fund model. "we have announced and are committed to $5.6 billion. when combined with the new south wales government's commitment of $1.5 billion that will deliver the funding necessary to complete the duplication of the road. "that is $4 billion more than could possibly be delivered under the current funding arrangements," mr hartsuyker told federal parliament," he said. mr hartsuyker has written to the minister requesting details of all federal funds which will be spent on existing and future pacific highway projects over the forward estimates."

"the concern is that there's no mention of the highway in the budget, so the question remains is funding being cut to the highway? are projects going to be deferred as a result of this?" Mr Hartsuyker said
