KENWICK TRAIN STATION — UPGRADES
309. Hon SAMANTHA ROWE to the
parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Transport:
I refer to question without notice 235 and the suggestion
that commuters who usually use the train service from Kenwick could access Park
'n' Ride facilities at nearby adjoining train stations during
the closure period.
(1) At the
Maddington station Park 'n' Ride facility, is it usual for
there to be vacant car parks between 7.00 am and 9.00 am?
(2) At the
Beckenham station Park 'n' Ride facility, is it usual for there
to be vacant car parks between 7.00 am and 9.00 am?
(3) Are there
sufficient Park 'n' Ride facilities at train stations adjoining
Kenwick to cope with additional cars?

AnswerView source ↗
I thank the honourable member for some notice of this
question.
(1) The Public
Transport Authority undertook a survey of car parking availability across the
network last month and on average found that the Maddington station car parking
facilities were generally full by 7.30 am.
(2) The same
survey found that the car parking availability at Beckenham station is
generally full by 10.00 am.
(3) Given that
the car parking availability is limited at adjoining stations, as it is across
the public transport network, the PTA recommends that during the closure of
Kenwick station, passengers utilise Transperth bus route 220 from Albany
Highway and 229 from Kenwick Road and Wanaping Road, which connect with the
Esplanade bus station and Cannington station respectively.
