(1) The Public Transport Authority (PTA) will continue to retain relevant portions of the land enacted under The Boyanup - Busselton Railway Act 1892, No 2 of 1892.
(2) This would depend on the location of the proposed ambulance centre.
(3) As the PTA has not identified the need for a railway service between these centres, and in the absence of a compelling need supported by a strong business case, there are no plans to acquire land for this purpose.
