I refer to the Premier’s answers to questions from the media on 4 March 2013, regarding the State Government’s plan to develop a Bus Rapid Transit system to Ellenbrook, in which the Premier replied that no, we’re not going to do that, and ask:
(a) is the State Government committed to delivering the Ellenbrook Bus Rapid Transit system;
(b) when will State Government commence building the Ellenbrook Bus Rapid Transit system; and
(c) will the Minister be releasing the concept design work for public comment?

(a - c) The Liberal-led Government remains committed to providing the residents of Ellenbrook with an efficient Bus Transit system between Ellenbrook and Bassendean station. The Government is currently undertaking further design and planning and will consider the options to provide a fiscally responsible outcome.
Unlike the Labor Party, this Government is committed to delivering affordable and achievable outcomes that will make a real difference to the community. During the recent election campaign, the Labor Party proved they would put politics ahead of good financial management by committing to an underdeveloped and overpriced transport policy that would have resulted in a $1.4 billion black hole.
