(1) The Minister is aware that the exhaust system which expels diesel fumes from Platform 3 at the Perth Train Station was damaged in the course of works for the City of Perth on the car park facility above the station and was functioning at reduced capacity. This was not considered to be a significant safety issue but rather one of discomfort.
(2) The Public Transport Authority had arrangements in place for the City of Perth to repair the damage to the exhaust system as a priority, with the works completed in July.
