(1)-(2) The Public Transport Authority has identified the significant growth through Wanneroo and has therefore taken the appropriate step of assessing the potential impact on the existing Joondalup rail line and considering whether there is justification for a new train line and the potential alignment for a new train line.
(3) The work is not in a fixed timeline; it remains planning in progress.
(4) Release will be subject to Government consideration.
