The
Public Transport Authority
advises:
(a)  The West Australian Planning Commission sought comments from the Public Transport Authority (PTA) to the proposed WAPC Metropolitan Region Scheme Amendment 1203/41 (Perth Waterfront), as per the normal statutory process. In leading its response, the PTA clearly stated its support for the proposal.
The comments made by the PTA were in the spirit of the Amendment process seeking stakeholder input; in this case to highlight that further consultation should be undertaken with the PTA to optimise integration between the proposed development, and the PTA's service obligations and its infrastructure.
(b)  The comments made by the PTA were legitimate comments on public transport integration and support to the site indicating that further planning is needed as the project progresses.
