AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of this question. I provide the response on behalf of the minister representing the Minister for Transport. (1) Consistent with the Liberal–National government’s policy of making Northbridge a safe and secure entertainment precinct, a commitment was made to considerably enhance the existing Milligan Street rank to ensure Northbridge patrons can depart the area during peak periods in the safest and most timely manner. Unfortunately, such an initiative was ignored by the previous Labor government, despite community outcry over violence in Northbridge. Work is expected to be completed in the next six months. (2) The roadway layout, James Street intersection, car park entrance relocation and footpath work have been completed. The shelter manufacturing process has commenced. (3) Significant planning, design and consultation work will be undertaken prior to the commencement of construction of this project. (4) The location of a number of services under the western footpath where one of the shelters is to be installed caused a delay.
