(1) Yes. An economic assessment was undertaken for the Public Transport Authority this year.
(2) [See tabled paper no. ]
(3) The final recommendation of work carried out by private consultants of the business case to extend the rail line to the Butler area was that the railway be extended to Brighton with no station at Butler. Analysis showed that this gave a consistently higher benefit/cost ratio than the option to extend the railway only to Butler, or to extend the railway to Brighton with a station at Butler as well.
(4) Yes. It is understood that a report was prepared by private consultants for the City of Wanneroo during the period of the previous Government.
