On behalf of the Minister for Finance, I provide the member
with the following answer and I thank him for some notice of this question.
(1) For 2012–13, $12.3 million.
(2) Recurrent expenditure, $5.3 million; and capital
expenditure, $7 million.
(3) The sum of $12.3 million will come from the Perth parking
management account.
(4) Yes.
Funding from the consolidated fund will be provided for elements of projects
falling outside the Perth parking management area, including the green CAT
service and the incident response service.
(5) The
Liberal–National government will provide a holistic transportation
system by delivering improved public transport, cycling and road
infrastructure. Increased traffic capacity delivers on part of that solution.
