QuestionView source ↗
(1) I refer to the Government’s decision to re-route the Southern suburbs railway through South Perth-Como and Salter Point and ask will the Minister advise if all her departments endorse the notion of running the new rail link, at ground level, through South Perth-Como and Salter Point?
(2) Did the Minister or the Government seek any other Government agencies’ views on the project, other than those responsible for railways or transport?
(3) If not, why not?
(4) If the Government failed to take a holistic approach on such a major urban development issue why?
(5) If the Cabinet failed to seek other agencies’ input, does this suggest that future Government decisions with implications for the urban environment will be made in isolation from environmental and urban design principles?
