Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Maria Kovacic questioned Department of Infrastructure officials regarding Meryl Swanson's involvement in the $100 million westbound overpass project at Maitland. Officials confirmed that no construction cost estimates were received from Transport for NSW to support the project announcement, and that no federal funding had been spent to date. The department stated that a business case is not due to be completed until next year, and construction will be informed by that case.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The project's timeline is dependent on the completion of a business case, which is scheduled for next year. This contradicts earlier assurances that planning was complete and negotiations were underway. The department confirmed that Meryl Swanson does not have a formal role or decision-making delegation regarding the project.
