AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of the question. I am advised as follows - (1) The deviation and extension of the old Mandurah Road to Stakehill Road along the eastern side of the southern suburbs rail alignment is a planning initiative supported by the Department for Planning and Infrastructure, the City of Rockingham and Main Roads WA. It will reduce the number of junctions with Ennis Avenue, which is the new Mandurah Road, while retaining through access on the old Mandurah Road. This will be achieved by realigning the railway to the western side of the corridor and containing the roadworks within the eastern side of the land reserved for the railway. (2) At the completion of the planning process, drawings will be produced to accompany a development approval application and for use in the environmental risk assessment. The latter will determine the requirement for an environmental impact assessment or whether the matter can be treated as a minor change to the completed public environmental review. (3) No. (4) The initiatives are only at the planning stage and will not be adopted until the development approval has been granted and funding for the various elements of the work have been confirmed.
