I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. The following answer has been provided to be by
the Minister for Transport.
(1) The Morley–Ellenbrook
line is expected to be complete by the end of 2024. Despite commitments at both the 2008 and 2013 state elections, no
construction, let alone planning, had been undertaken in the eight years of the Barnett Liberal–National government.
(2) Services on
the Yanchep rail extension are expected to commence early next year. Despite it
being named a key transformational project by former Liberal Minister for
Transport Troy Buswell in 2011, no construction had been undertaken on this
project by the Liberal–National government.
