(a)Approximately 90 cars. However an estimated 125 bays are usually available in the 'Pay and Display' area.
(b) Approximately 20 cars. However, most of these vehicles could be accommodated in bays still available in the 'Lock and Ride' area.
(c)There is no apparent overflow street parking; however, an unknown number of vehicles park in the parking areas of local businesses.
(d)Approximately 70 cars.
(e)Approximately 20 cars.
(f ) Approximately 80 cars.
(g)A number of cars park around the IKEA site. It is unknown how many of these vehicles belong to train patrons.
(h) Approximately 160 cars. However, there are usually still some bays available in the 'Lock and Ride' area.
(2)
(a) Approximately 125 bays by late 2008, followed by an additional 470-650 bays subject to design finalisation and community consultation.
(b) 370 - 600 bays subject to design finalisation and community consultation.
(c) 300 - 450 bays subject to approvals from City of Stirling and design finalisation.
(d) Approximately 120 bays by late 2008.
(3) (a) - (d).
While the additional bays will be a mix of free and "pay and dispay", the final mix will depend on an assessment of demand and the practicality of providing security as the additional spaces become available. The cost of necessary additional car park attendants is assessed at $120,000 per annum, and it is not expected that any additional revenue would significantly exceed that.
(4)
While potential opportunities to provide expanded parking are always being explored by the Public Transport Authority, there are currently no formal plans for additional parking at the other stations.
(5) Not applicable.
(6) A marketing campaign ('
There's more than one way to catch a train'
) is presently being undertaken on the Mandurah line and will commence on the Joondalup line in the next month. The campaign is aimed at encouraging commuters who have the choice to consider the benefits of using an alternative means of transport to get to stations such as feeder bus services, walking or cycling. A brochure is provided to Park and Ride patrons which contains information on the feeder bus services available in their area. Where commuters currently using bays use other options to access their stations, bays are freed up for commuters for whom other options are not available.
