(a)-(i) The Public Transport Authority (PTA) in consultation with key stakeholders including Main Roads WA has been working on concept design investigations to improve bus interchange facilities at Canning Bridge. The PTA has advised that the location of the proposed facility is consistent with the Activity Centre Plan developed by the City of South Perth and City of Melville and approved by the WA Planning Commission in April 2016.
This work is yet to be considered by the Government and no current commitments exist with regards to the preferred solution or potential funding and timing of implementation.
