METRONET — BAYSWATER STATION CONTRACTOR
382. Hon Dr BRIAN WALKER to the Leader of the House
representing the Minister for Transport:
I refer the minister to a report
published in The Perth Voice of 28 April 2022 suggesting that the
government has listened to local concerns in
Bayswater, agreeing to relocate the construction headquarters for the Bayswater
station contractor somewhere other than Mills Avenue Park. I commend the
minister for his flexible approach and ask —
(1) What
consultations are underway at present to identify an alternate location and
with whom has the Metronet team or the department as a whole liaised to date?
(2) What time
constraints exist when it comes to identifying an alternative site to allow the
work to proceed on schedule?
(3) Have any
potential sites been identified thus far; and, if so, where?

I thank the
honourable member for some notice of the question.
(1) The project
team is working closely with the City of Bayswater to find a suitable location
and will liaise with residents neighbouring the proposed sites.
(2) The site
facilities must be relocated before July 2022.
(3) The project
team has worked with City of Bayswater staff to identify three sites that could
all be utilised for separate purposes at an unused car park at Frank Drago
Reserve; a vacant block on Railway Parade; and along Whatley Crescent.
