“PUBLIC TRANSPORT FOR PERTH IN 2031” — MODELLING
I refer to the document “Public Transport for Perth in 2031”. In the modelling that was used to develop this plan — (1) What are the estimated daily passenger boardings on the proposed light rail from Perth to Mirrabooka in 2031? (2) Which northern suburbs are expected to be the primary catchment area for this light rail? (3) What was the estimated travel time for the light rail during peak hours between Mirrabooka and Perth? (4) How many passengers are expected to be attracted to the Mirrabooka–Perth light rail who would otherwise have used the northern suburbs rail line and what are the main suburbs that they will come from?

I thank the honourable member for some notice of this question. (1) Up to 40 000 passengers per day is the maximum forecast patronage at any point on the line. (2) Suburbs east of Wanneroo Road across to Walter Road–Beechboro Road from the city north to Gnangara Road. (3) It is estimated to take 23 to 25 minutes. (4) Up to 8 000 people would travel to the northern suburbs rail line in 2031 if the central northern corridor light rail was not constructed. These people generally come from the area between Wanneroo Road and Alexander Drive.
