From the Rottnest Island Authority’s (RIA) website article ‘Mt Herschel Development’, it appears that there will be no additional bus services required to cater for approximately 120 extra visitors to the Longreach/Geordie area each day; however, the Norman Disney Young Report states that the developer would be responsible for the movement of luggage to and from the facility. Can the Minister please advise -
(1) Will the new hotel have its own courtesy bus?
(2) If so, will the developer’s courtesy bus be able to cope with the anticipated extra passengers?
(3) Will the new hotel have its own luggage delivery van?
(4) Will the luggage delivery van be able to cope with the increased luggage for 120 visitors to the new hotel?
(5) How many extra vehicle services including service vehicles in total in summer are estimated each day between the new development and Thomson's Bay?
(6) Does the RIA have a Traffic Management Plan in place to minimise extra vehicular traffic on this road?
