QuestionView source ↗

I refer to the recent selection of Matilda Bay as the location for a new ferry terminal as part of the METRONET Swan Ferry Service Expansion, and the assessment and impact of this decision across several areas of concern, and I ask : (a) How many parking bays are expected to be removed due to the terminal and infrastructure requirements (including for charging stations and bus connections): (i) What is the total length (in metres) of the parking bays to be removed; and (ii) Are local businesses aware of the changes to parking bay availability; (b) Please provide a diagram of the proposed road and parking / car bay changes resulting from the planned ferry terminal and public transport interchange at Matilda Bay; (c) What changes are proposed for Hackett Drive; (d) Please provide details of on-land traffic flows and any traffic flow modelling conducted for the assessed sites; and (e) Please provide the dimensions (including height) and physical footprints of all proposed infrastructure at Matilda Bay, including the jetty, charging station and toilet block and any other planned infrastructure to support the ferry and transport interchange, with descriptions of each?
