QuestionView source ↗

I refer to a letter I received from the Minister dated June 2011, committing to place additional signage in the Perth Underground Station shortly in order to direct passengers to available toilets, and also to email advice from the Public Transport Authority advising that the reason there are currently no toilets is because the Perth Underground Station is well below the existing Perth city sewer system. This advice states that any installation of amenities for the public would require a dedicated pumping facility, additional plumbing, supporting services and infrastructure. In relation to this, I ask:
(a) is the Minister aware that signage has still not appeared;
(b) when will signage be erected; and
(c) can the Minister confirm that there is already a staff toilet in the underground station; and
(i) if so, why weren’t public toilets installed at the same time?
