PERTH AIRPORT PLAN
415. Hon KEN TRAVERS to the parliamentary
secretary representing the Minister for Transport:
I refer to question on notice 771.
(1) Is the
minister aware I was asking for the data used in the draft Public Transport
Plan for Perth 2031, not the data for the final plan?
(2) Considering
the draft plan has been publicly released, why is the minister unwilling to now
release this data?
(3) Will the minister now reconsider his position and release
the data used to develop the draft plan?
(4) If no to (3), why not?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the member for some notice
of this question.
(1) Yes.
(2) A significant
number of factors have changed since the release of the draft Public Transport
Plan for Perth 2031. The Department of Transport has undertaken significant
stakeholder and community consultation to align with community expectations.
The department will incorporate these factors into the final public transport
plan.
(3) No.
(4) Refer to (2).
