(1) No. A long term public transport strategy for Perth is being developed by a project team working at the Public Transport Authority and reporting to an Independent Panel of experts that I appointed early in 2009. I have met regularly with the Chairman of the Independent Panel, Mr Stuart Hicks and he has advised me that a report will be delivered to the Government in the coming months.
(2) A proposed extension of the Thornlie railway line to Nicholson Road and Canning Vale will be considered as part of the long term public transport plan.
