AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) Yes. It is necessary to close the access way due to earthworks that are currently taking place as part of the Currambine to Clarkson rail extension project. There would be significant safety risks to the community if the public had access to the area in which these earthworks are taking place. (2) During construction of the railway from Currambine to Clarkson, access will be provided to Currambine station via a footpath, parallel to the rail works, from Bonneville Way to Burns Beach Road. A new pathway to Currambine station will also be constructed on Burns Beach Road. (3) There has been extensive community consultation on this matter, including a public meeting held on 6 June at the City of Joondalup offices. Hon Alan Cadby: Eighteen people! Hon Ljiljanna Ravlich: They were invited. More could have gone. Hon G.T. GIFFARD: The parties involved in the consultation process included the local member, Tony O’Gorman; the City of Joondalup; the Western Australian Government Railways Commission; and the Perth urban rail development team.
