I thank the member for the way in which he has chaired the Local Impacts Committee, which deals with the very challenging issues of managing the freight traffic through the metropolitan area, particularly through the south west corridor. It has been an exemplary process. We have already completed about $1.6 million worth of projects, including stage one of the South Street priority bus lanes, mast-arm signals on Leach Highway, anti-skid treatments on Leach Highway and Manning Road, and the east-west cycle link on Leach Highway, crossing the Kwinana Freeway, in association with the Bull Creek train station. We have also approved $6.1 million worth of additional works to be undertaken this year and next year. They include: stage 2 bus transit priority lanes on South Street from the Kwinana Freeway to Roe Highway; widening of South Street, Ranford Road and Bannister Road to three lanes; lengthening of right turning lanes on Leach Highway and Manning Road and upgrading pedestrian facilities; lengthening right turning lanes and upgrading pedestrian facilities on Leach Highway and North Lake Road; and left lane and double right turns on Leach Highway and Stock Road and an upgrade to pedestrian facilities. A great bundle of works has been delivered in fulfilment of the undertaking that we made to the local community that we would seriously implement the committee’s recommendations. I congratulate everyone who participated in that process.
