QuestionView source ↗
(1) What progress has been made in implementing the previous Government trial in assisting with funding for bus shelters at Government schools in the metropolitan area?
(2) Will the scheme be extended to trial the purchase of bus shelters at country schools, particularly at Busselton Senior High School where the need for bus shelters has been clear for some time?
(3) If the trial is extended into rural WA, will opportunities exist for Non-Government schools to also take part, provided that the need for bus shelters is clearly demonstrated at the schools?

(2&3) The scheme referred to (1) above is likely to be available for Local Governments across the State. The Department for Planning and Infrastructure is currently preparing a tender for the supply of bus shelters. The number of bus shelters that will be able to be co-funded will depend on shelter costs and Local Government budgets. The allocation of bus shelters to school sites will depend on priorities in the scheme yet to be agreed between State and Local Government. Clearly schools would benefit from bus shelters as would others in the community.
