(a)-(b) In 2011, the Liberal-National Government commenced the biggest investment in bus service kilometres ever experienced in this State in a condensed period. This investment has progressively grown to a point where over 13.5 million additional annual service kilometres, a measure of both service frequency and network coverage, were provided in 2014/15 representing a growth of over 26 per cent when compared to 2008/09.
This investment has continued through 2015/16 with over 800,000 additional annual service kilometres to be added to the network by the end of the 2015/16 financial year.
Whilst this remains a priority service development for Transperth, a commencement date has not been set.
(c) The proposed extension will see the bus route 450 service extend east along Kingsway before terminating in the vicinity of Pomodora Avenue, Landsdale.
