(1) A study to define a feasible route for a railway from Perth Underground to Bunbury was completed in October 2009. There are unresolved issues with regard to the final section of the route from Eaton to Koombarna Bay which require further attention.
(2) Although a separate issue, the feasibility study will form part of the deliberations associated with the Public Transport Plan 2031 and no comment will be released prior to the completion of those deliberations. Therefore the Government cannot commit to further action prior to the deliberations which now need to take place.
