QuestionView source ↗
I refer to the Thornlie-Cockburn Link Project Definition Plan from June 2018, which states, 'Procurement for the Thornlie-Cockburn Link is expected to take up to 12 months, with construction beginning in 2019. During the procurement and detailed design stage, the contractor will be requested to optimise their construction methods and strive to achieve the Government’s target completion date in 2021', and I ask: (a) given that we are nearing the end of 2024, what is the current projected completion date for the METRONET station; (b) what is the projected date this line will be operational; (c) how is the government engaging with local communities impacted by METRONET construction; (d) what feedback mechanisms are in place for residents and business owners to voice concerns about the disruptions caused by Thornlie-Cockburn Link, specifically the Ranford Road station; and (e) how many complaints have been received?

(a)-(e) The METRONET Thornlie-Cockburn Link is on track for completion in mid-2025. The original opening date was affected by COVID-19, and the broader package of works as part of the Armadale Line Transformation.
METRONET engages with the local community on the Thornlie-Cockburn Link project through a number of means, including through Community Reference Groups established for the project, a project Facebook group, and regular mailouts.
If residents or business owners wish to enquire about works and disruptions, they can contact the METRONET office by email at [email protected] or by calling 9326 3666.
