Moreover, the Peel Region is already served by a very good network of regional and local roads which provide a high level of mobility together with access for communities and industries in the region. Plans are also in place to expand the regional road network where this is required in the future to meet growth needs in both Peel and South West Regions. In terms of public transport, the main bus services from Mandurah to Perth and Mandurah to Rockingham, with connections to Fremantle, have been strengthened. The Route 107 express bus service is particularly well patronised and provides a very quick service to Perth. In recognition of the need to improve public transport services within the region, a significant expansion of the Transperth Mandurah town bus service, as from April this year, was announced at the recent Regional Cabinet Meeting in Mandurah. Furthermore, by the second half of 2006, a high-speed rail service will provide a substantially better and faster level of public transport. This rail service will be supported by an integrated bus service throughout the Mandurah area. Government has also announced, and sought public comment on, a Transit Precinct Plan for the future bus and train interchange at the Mandurah rail terminal. This interchange will provide an effective regional base and interchange for passenger transport. In the short term, Government is expediting the completion of the bus station component of the interchange. As far as the wider Peel region is concerned, the needs of school students to access education services are already well catered for through the network of school bus routes. The potential is currently being explored for these existing passenger transport services to be expanded to allow other members of the community to use these services and thus access their workplace and key destinations such as medical services. In order to ensure that the overall transport system meets community needs and that congestion inhibiting timely access to employment and services, is minimised, continuing improvements to the road system are required. Recent improvements to the Peel region include: - construction of the Dawesville Deviation and the extension of the dual carriageways on the Mandurah Bypass bridge approaches on the Bunbury Highway; and - widening and pavement improvements along South Western Highway and provision of additional passing lanes to increase safer overtaking opportunities. Consideration of short term options for continuing congestion spots, such as a plan to improve the safety and capacity of the Pinjarra Road and Mandurah Bypass intersection on the Bunbury Highway, are also part of the overall approach to addressing the needs of the Peel region community. This list of initiatives clearly demonstrates a commitment from this Government to the Peel Region in terms of improving transport services as part of a wider transport plan for the region. Work being undertaken on this wider plan includes: - The South West Passenger Rail Study which is due for completion this year. This study will provide a basis for Government to consider options for future passenger services in the corridors linking the Peel region with Perth and the South West of the State.The need for linkages between the various centres within the region is being considered as part of this work. - An extensive study recently completed by Main Roads which examined options for major future expansions of the regional road network in the Peel Region. Following stakeholder consultation, the report will be considered by Government and a strategy consistent with a consideration of the economic, environmental and social impacts of large infrastructure investments, will be adopted. - The report of the Mandurah Inner Area Strategic Land Use and Transport Integration Study, which has been completed and is under consideration by the WAPC. Given that Mandurah is the major regional centre for the Peel region, the outcomes of this study will have significant impacts on transport systems within the region as a whole. This study has been a collaborative effort between the State Government and the City of Mandurah and will provide for an integrated and consistent approach in implementing both short and long term road, rail and public transport solutions for the City of Mandurah. These solutions include ensuring community access to services such as health, education and training and employment. - The proposed Peel Region Scheme, which should be finalised by the end of this year. This scheme will provide increased certainty by reserving the required land for future public requirements. Transport related proposals for which land is to be reserved include the Perth to Mandurah railway, the extension of the Kwinana Freeway, the Perth - Bunbury Highway (Peel Deviation), proposed Pinjarra Bypass roads and the widening of Pinjarra Road (east of the Mandurah By Pass) and the South Western Highway.

- An extensive study recently completed by Main Roads which examined options for major future expansions of the regional road network in the Peel Region. Following stakeholder consultation, the report will be considered by Government and a strategy consistent with a consideration of the economic, environmental and social impacts of large infrastructure investments, will be adopted. - The report of the Mandurah Inner Area Strategic Land Use and Transport Integration Study, which has been completed and is under consideration by the WAPC. Given that Mandurah is the major regional centre for the Peel region, the outcomes of this study will have significant impacts on transport systems within the region as a whole. This study has been a collaborative effort between the State Government and the City of Mandurah and will provide for an integrated and consistent approach in implementing both short and long term road, rail and public transport solutions for the City of Mandurah. These solutions include ensuring community access to services such as health, education and training and employment. - The proposed Peel Region Scheme, which should be finalised by the end of this year.

In terms of public transport, the main bus services from Mandurah to Perth and Mandurah to Rockingham, with connections to Fremantle, have been strengthened. The Route 107 express bus service is particularly well patronised and provides a very quick service to Perth. In recognition of the need to improve public transport services within the region, a significant expansion of the Transperth Mandurah town bus service, as from April this year, was announced at the recent Regional Cabinet Meeting in Mandurah. Furthermore, by the second half of 2006, a high-speed rail service will provide a substantially better and faster level of public transport. This rail service will be supported by an integrated bus service throughout the Mandurah area. Government has also announced, and sought public comment on, a Transit Precinct Plan for the future bus and train interchange at the Mandurah rail terminal. This interchange will provide an effective regional base and interchange for passenger transport. In the short term, Government is expediting the completion of the bus station component of the interchange. As far as the wider Peel region is concerned, the needs of school students to access education services are already well catered for through the network of school bus routes. The potential is currently being explored for these existing passenger transport services to be expanded to allow other members of the community to use these services and thus access their workplace and key destinations such as medical services. In order to ensure that the overall transport system meets community needs and that congestion inhibiting timely access to employment and services, is minimised, continuing improvements to the road system are required. Recent improvements to the Peel region include: - construction of the Dawesville Deviation and the extension of the dual carriageways on the Mandurah Bypass bridge approaches on the Bunbury Highway; and - widening and pavement improvements along South Western Highway and provision of additional passing lanes to increase safer overtaking opportunities. Consideration of short term options for continuing congestion spots, such as a plan to improve the safety and capacity of the Pinjarra Road and Mandurah Bypass intersection on the Bunbury Highway, are also part of the overall approach to addressing the needs of the Peel region community. This list of initiatives clearly demonstrates a commitment from this Government to the Peel Region in terms of improving transport services as part of a wider transport plan for the region. Work being undertaken on this wider plan includes: - The South West Passenger Rail Study which is due for completion this year. This study will provide a basis for Government to consider options for future passenger services in the corridors linking the Peel region with Perth and the South West of the State.The need for linkages between the various centres within the region is being considered as part of this work. - An extensive study recently completed by Main Roads which examined options for major future expansions of the regional road network in the Peel Region.

These solutions include ensuring community access to services such as health, education and training and employment. - The proposed Peel Region Scheme, which should be finalised by the end of this year. This scheme will provide increased certainty by reserving the required land for future public requirements. Transport related proposals for which land is to be reserved include the Perth to Mandurah railway, the extension of the Kwinana Freeway, the Perth - Bunbury Highway (Peel Deviation), proposed Pinjarra Bypass roads and the widening of Pinjarra Road (east of the Mandurah By Pass) and the South Western Highway.
