FORRESTFIELD–AIRPORT
LINK — EASTERN SUBURBS EXPANSION
823. Hon KEN TRAVERS to the
parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Transport:
I refer to the Minister for Transport's comment on
Channel Seven news on 18 August 2014 that the government believes it is a
priority that it needs to push east and open up the eastern suburbs.
(1) What areas does the minister expect will be opened up?
(2) How many new residents does the minister expect these
developments will produce?
(3) Does the
minister expect these new developments will be on greenfield sites or through
increased densities?
(4) How many new jobs does the minister expect these
developments will produce?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the
question.
(1) The suburbs to the east of Perth that the new
Forrestfield–Airport Link will service.
(2) I refer
the member to the Department of Planning's ''Directions 2031 and
beyond: metropolitan planning beyond the horizon'' document. I table the
report.
(3) The Public Transport Authority expects that a combination
of both will be used.
(4) Please refer to (2).
