The Minister for Planning and Infrastructure promised the residents of Rockingham a unique transit system to link with the train line. (1) Will the minister inform the Parliament of the details of the proposed unique transit system and the expected cost? (2) Has the Government set aside any funds to allocate to this project; and, if not, why not? (3) The City of Rockingham has offered to provide $10 million towards the cost of the light rail system. Is it the Government’s intention to match this funding for light rail? (4) What did it cost the Government to send a group of Western Australians, including local members, to Germany in 2002 to inspect options for the proposed Rockingham light rail transit system? Hon KEN TRAVERS
AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of the question. The answer I have contains a question without the preamble, but the substance of the points is nonetheless the same. (1)-(3) Under the previous Government’s Kenwick deviation plans, it was proposed to have a line through to the Rockingham City Shopping Centre - the Rockingham loop - and a line that would bypass Rockingham altogether. Under the previous Government’s plans, only every second train would have passed through Rockingham. Under the Gallop Government’s fast direct railway, every train will go to a station in the residential heart of Rockingham. Several members interjected. The PRESIDENT: Order, members! Hon KEN TRAVERS: I could start again if members missed any of that. Under the previous Government’s plans, three to four trains an hour would have gone through Rockingham. Under the fast direct railway, there will be six to eight trains an hour through Rockingham. The journey time from Rockingham to Perth will be 33 minutes - 12 minutes, or 26 per cent, faster than the Kenwick deviation and more than 20 minutes faster than the same journey by motor vehicle. A task force was established to examine the best routes and the most appropriate technology for linking Rockingham station with the city centre, the Murdoch University campus and Rockingham’s premier asset - its foreshore. The task force report is currently being considered by government. (4) The cost of the Rockingham city centre transit system delegation visit to France in April-May 2002 was $42 264.
