I thank the member for some notice of this question. The minister has provided a substantial and comprehensive answer to the member’s question. I seek leave to have the answer incorporated into Hansard . Leave granted. The following material was incorporated - I thank the Hon. Member for some notice of this question. (1) Let me first address your introductory premise. Park and ride users are estimated to account for 20,000 to 25,000 out of 310,000 total boardings per day on the Transperth system. While it is an attractive attribute of our network, it is a relatively minor factor in its success compared to feeder and general bus services, “drop off” facilities and transit oriented development. The Minister is aware that current demand for parking at Murdoch Park and Ride on a number of weekdays has exceeded the available parking bays. Parking was substantially increased at Murdoch Park and Ride in 2001 with an additional 229 bays being added in the north western quadrant of the site. Additionally, recent rationalisation of all available space has added more than 50 new bays, so that there are now some 980 parking bays at Murdoch Park and Ride. The demand for parking has led car drivers to begin parking inappropriately outside the designated bays and often in hazardous locations. After a period of warnings, the matter is now being policed through the issue of infringement notices in the interests of public safety and to ensure the convenience of those who are properly parked. Following the period of construction of the Murdoch Train/Bus Station Interchange as part of the Southern Suburbs rail line, a further 200 additional bays will be made available on this site. Because of the necessary timing relationships with the construction of access roads as part of the station construction, I am advised that provision of these bays cannot be brought forward. The final number of bays on the site will be confirmed after final planning and environmental considerations. During the construction period about 200 of the existing bays at Murdoch will be unavailable. The Minister has asked Transperth to advise on what special short-term arrangements might be available during that period to alleviate demand for parking. As part of the construction of the Southern Suburbs Railway, additional park and ride facilities will become available for a number of the current users of Murdoch Park and Ride at: · Leach Highway (615 bays) - · Thomsons Lake (790 Bays). (2) Given the problems of inconvenience and public safety which arose before the introduction of parking infringements, the Minister cannot responsibly advocate the waiving of parking infringements at Murdoch Park and Ride. As an immediate step, Transperth have begun marketing the available feeder bus services to users of the park and facility so that more choose that option and free more bays for those with fewer options.

Because of the necessary timing relationships with the construction of access roads as part of the station construction, I am advised that provision of these bays cannot be brought forward. The final number of bays on the site will be confirmed after final planning and environmental considerations. During the construction period about 200 of the existing bays at Murdoch will be unavailable. The Minister has asked Transperth to advise on what special short-term arrangements might be available during that period to alleviate demand for parking. As part of the construction of the Southern Suburbs Railway, additional park and ride facilities will become available for a number of the current users of Murdoch Park and Ride at: · Leach Highway (615 bays) - · Thomsons Lake (790 Bays). (2) Given the problems of inconvenience and public safety which arose before the introduction of parking infringements, the Minister cannot responsibly advocate the waiving of parking infringements at Murdoch Park and Ride. As an immediate step, Transperth have begun marketing the available feeder bus services to users of the park and facility so that more choose that option and free more bays for those with fewer options.
Leave granted. The following material was incorporated - I thank the Hon. Member for some notice of this question. (1) Let me first address your introductory premise. Park and ride users are estimated to account for 20,000 to 25,000 out of 310,000 total boardings per day on the Transperth system. While it is an attractive attribute of our network, it is a relatively minor factor in its success compared to feeder and general bus services, “drop off” facilities and transit oriented development. The Minister is aware that current demand for parking at Murdoch Park and Ride on a number of weekdays has exceeded the available parking bays. Parking was substantially increased at Murdoch Park and Ride in 2001 with an additional 229 bays being added in the north western quadrant of the site. Additionally, recent rationalisation of all available space has added more than 50 new bays, so that there are now some 980 parking bays at Murdoch Park and Ride. The demand for parking has led car drivers to begin parking inappropriately outside the designated bays and often in hazardous locations. After a period of warnings, the matter is now being policed through the issue of infringement notices in the interests of public safety and to ensure the convenience of those who are properly parked. Following the period of construction of the Murdoch Train/Bus Station Interchange as part of the Southern Suburbs rail line, a further 200 additional bays will be made available on this site.
