I thank the
honourable member for some notice of this question.
(1) The Metro Area Express light rail network route
announced by the government does not go to Curtin University.
(2)–(3)
No.
(4) The MAX
light rail project team is working closely with the Town of Victoria Park and
Curtin University in planning for the future alignment of light rail to ensure
the alignment can be taken into account for town planning purposes.
(5)–(6)
Please refer to part (1).
The PRESIDENT : Members, you might be aware that the
volume in the chamber is not too good today; it is connected to our electrical
problems. We hope to have all of that resolved by the end of tonight's
dinner break. Bear with us. Hansard is obviously having difficulty picking up
the sound.
