AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) The government has undertaken Quadstone Paramics traffic modelling for the Perth Waterfront project, using input from Main Roads Western Australia’s regional operations model, and the City of Perth simulation and assignment of traffic in urban road networks model—SATURN. This methodology has been employed to identify the local and regional traffic implications arising from the Perth Waterfront development and other planned developments across the City of Perth. (2) The modelling has found that road network changes as a result of the Perth Waterfront project and other central business district network modifications, combined with the projected future traffic growth across the city, will have implications on the CBD road network in terms of minor delays. (3) No. (4) The traffic modelling undertaken has forecast traffic based on the waterfront development and other future projects within the CBD to 2031. Further refinements of the traffic modelling are still being undertaken to isolate the potential impacts specifically arising from the Perth Waterfront project and the proposed network improvements that will increase connectivity and efficiency of the road network in this location.
