COMMUNITY CONSULTATION
1002. Hon SAMANTHA ROWE to the
parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Transport:

to department spokespeople.

with the consultation format outlined?

(1)–(2)
The community information sessions held to date have been the start of a
consultation process that will run between various phases of the Forrestfield–Airport
Link project until the railway commences operation. It should be noted,
however, that the five sessions held to date have provided the opportunity for
residents to ask questions of the Public Transport Authority project staff who
have been in attendance.
