2) The Metropolitan Freight Network Review commenced with the October 2001 Freight Congress. A second Congress was subsequently held on 15 June 2002. The second Congress focused on recommendations to improve the sustainability of Perth's freight system and the strategies and actions that came out of the Congress lead to the development of the Freight Network Strategy. The Review was formally announced on 27 October 2001. 3) The Freight Network Strategy priorities are being implemented through a Freight Network Strategy Implementation Group within the Planning and Infrastructure portfolio, mainly by the Department for Planning and Infrastructure, Main Roads Western Australia, Fremantle Ports and the Public Transport Authority. 4) The Freight Network Review did not have formal terms of reference. However its stated objectives were to develop recommendations to improve the sustainability of Perth's freight system, including options to manage freight demand, improve the sustainability of freight transport, reduce future problems and focus Government intervention to reduce the impact of freight. 5) The boundaries of the Review were essentially the Perth Metropolitan Region, however, some consideration was also given to freight movements to and from regional areas. 6) The Freight Network Strategy is ongoing with some projects having a medium term planning horizon. 7) Various reports were produced by the Review. The Freight Network Masterplan, produced through the review process, has been publicly available since the second half of 2002. It can be viewed on the Department for Planning and Infrastructure website http://www.dpi.wa.gov.au/ . 8) The findings of the Freight Network Review indicate that the major demands for freight movements in the metropolitan area are generally concentrated in the north-eastern, eastern and southern parts of the city. Following completion of the Freight Network Review I have requested the Department for Planning and Infrastructure to initiate a study to review the long term need for the Stephenson Highway road reservation. Background and scoping papers are currently being developed for review and agreement with local government and other key stakeholders prior to commencement of the study.
