NORTHLINK WA — BENARA ROAD FLYOVER
1326. Hon AMBER-JADE SANDERSON to the
parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Transport:
I refer to the NorthLink WA project,
in particular the works surrounding the Benara Road flyover.
(1) Can the
minister confirm the traffic management plan for accessing Lightning Park, as
set out by Main Roads WA to local residents, has traffic flowing both ways
along Della Road, Matthews Close, Maxwell Avenue and Cardwell Avenue?
(2) Can the
minister confirm that this is a deviation from the previous plan, which was
developed in consultation with the community reference group, of traffic going
one way into Lightning Park via Della Road and egressing one way via Matthews
Close?
(3) If yes to (1) —
(a) when was this most recent traffic
plan developed; and
(b) what
community consultation was undertaken in developing the most recent traffic
management plan?
(4) What traffic
studies have been undertaken along all of the aforementioned roads to develop
traffic management plans?

I indicate that I am answering on
behalf of the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Transport, who is
away on urgent parliamentary business.
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of this question.
(1) Traffic will
be able to enter Lightning Park via Della Road or Matthews Close, Maxwell
Avenue and Cardwell Avenue, while traffic will be able to exit Lightning Park
only via Matthews Close and Maxwell Avenue.
(2) This is the same plan developed
during consultation.
(3) Not applicable.
(4) Traffic
studies consisted of counts and analysis undertaken by consultants with input
from both Main Roads and the City of Bayswater.
This sounded a bit different from
the member's question and I apologise if it is not quite correct.
The PRESIDENT : Perhaps that could be checked. We might
have got an answer to a question that has not been asked yet!
