AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) Yes. (2) November 1999. (3) No. A total of 204 hectares must be purchased for the transportation corridor - the railway and the Mitchell Freeway - between Burns Beach Road and Lukin Drive. (4) Prior to obtaining the land it has been necessary to finalise the railway route and to prepare amendments to the metropolitan region scheme. The Clarkson extension could not be considered in isolation from the overall suburban rail network. In particular, it was identified as an integral part of the services to the proposed south west metropolitan railway. Preparation of the master plan for the south west metropolitan railway commenced in 1997 and was completed in March 1999. Preparation of the master plan for the northern suburbs transit service Clarkson extension followed and has been completed. Enabling legislation for construction of the railway received royal assent in December 1999. A significant change arising out of the northern suburbs master plan, compared with previous planning, was to relocate the railway back into the future Mitchell Freeway median, and to relocate the proposed railway car depot further north. These options will affect land requirements. Preparation of the metropolitan region scheme amendment commenced in May 1997. After taking into account the environmental issues and ensuing reviews, and the route as finalised by the NSTS Clarkson extension master plan, this amendment is nearly complete and will be presented to Parliament for approval in the spring sitting. Acquisition of the plan can then proceed. (5) The master plan to extend the railway to Clarkson will be released tomorrow.

A significant change arising out of the northern suburbs master plan, compared with previous planning, was to relocate the railway back into the future Mitchell Freeway median, and to relocate the proposed railway car depot further north. These options will affect land requirements. Preparation of the metropolitan region scheme amendment commenced in May 1997. After taking into account the environmental issues and ensuing reviews, and the route as finalised by the NSTS Clarkson extension master plan, this amendment is nearly complete and will be presented to Parliament for approval in the spring sitting. Acquisition of the plan can then proceed. (5) The master plan to extend the railway to Clarkson will be released tomorrow.
