(a) $5.8 million will be spent out of the capital works budget to construct the new Mandurah bus station.
While the exact amount has not yet been determined, it is envisaged that approximately $160,000 per annum will be spent out of Transperth's existing operating budget in addition to current services, in order to make further improvements to Mandurah's local feeder bus services and main line services. These will be funded through rationalisation of services across the system.
