(a)-(b) I refer to the Stage 1 METRONET priorities and refer to the following commitments:
(c) Up to 18 new stations.
(d) (i)-(ii) $1.86 billion was allocated in previous budgets by the then Liberal-National Government for the Forrestfield-Airport Link, including associated stations. An estimated total cost of $1.055 billion is identified in the 2017-18 State Budget for the Yanchep and Thornlie Cockburn Stage 1 METRONET projects. Estimates for other Stage 1 projects will be identified when planning is sufficiently advanced.
