“PERTH WATERFRONT MASTERPLAN”
(1) Were any public submissions supportive of the proposal in the “Perth Waterfront Masterplan” to relocate the Florence Hummerston kiosk? (2) What action will the government take to alleviate the concerns raised by the National Trust of Australia (WA), the City of Perth, and CityVision, amongst others, regarding the proposed relocation of the kiosk? (3) Has the public consultation process for the Perth Waterfront project resulted in any modifications to the master plan; and, if so, please identify those modifications? (4) Please explain how the proportion of the Perth Waterfront development maintained for public use was calculated at 60 per cent when the bulk of the development appears to comprise the lake and private commercial property. (5) How many commuter cyclists use the cycleway adjacent to Riverside Drive and how will plans to develop the waterfront accommodate these cyclists? (6) Could the development include a segregated cycle route to avoid potential conflicts between cyclists and pedestrians? Hon HELEN MORTON

AnswerView source ↗
I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. (1) No. (2) The state government is no longer considering the prospect of relocating the Florence Hummerston kiosk to the Supreme Court Gardens, but is considering options for other relocation opportunities in a similar setting. (3) An extensive public consultation process undertaken in 2008 resulted in the master plan being substantially reduced in scale to align with community sentiment for the project to better reflect the existing city environment. The recent public comment period was to support the rezoning of the land rather than address the design detail of the master plan. (4) The publicly accessible area has included all aspects of the public domain including the promenades, island, roads and the inlet. (5) Cycle volume counts are conducted annually at the Narrows Bridge and Causeway interchanges. From this data, the estimated cycle volumes passing through the waterfront area are between 1 200 and 1 500 per day. Commuter cyclists will be accommodated through the continuous recreational shared path through the project, or on road routes utilising new Riverside Drive, and Barrack and William Streets. (6) The recreational shared path will be designed to delineate between pedestrian and cyclist paths to reduce potential for conflict, while new Riverside Drive will accommodate cyclists on road. The waterfront is being designed as a shared zone for all transport modes. It is not considered a good design outcome for the precinct to create separate routes for all user groups.
