Radio systems replacement project
685. Hon Steve Martin to
the parliamentary secretary representing the
Minister for Transport:
I refer to the radio
systems replacement project, which was first scheduled for completion by 2021–22
and is now part of the high-capacity signalling program.
(1) When will the radio systems replacement project
be completed?
(2) Noting that this was not answered in estimates
questions, what is the current expenditure for the project to 30 June 2025?
(3) Are analog radio systems still widely used
across the system; and, if not, what is the percentage or numerical split?
(4) Noting that the Australian Communications and
Media Authority had an original deadline for the Public Transport Authority to
vacate the analog radio spectrum by May 2020, what is the current extended
deadline?
(5) Can the minister table documents showing the
nature and conditions of the extension granted in (4)?
