PERTH AIRPORT LIGHT RAIL PROJECT
912. Hon KEN TRAVERS to the
parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Transport:
Notice of
this question was given a few days ago, so I hope the parliamentary secretary
has an answer. I refer to the proposed airport rail line.
(1) How much
is included in the total cost of this project for the purchase of new rail
cars?
(2) How many
rail cars is this expected to buy?
(3) What is
the estimated cost to provide storage and maintenance facilities for these rail
cars?
(4) How much
of this cost is included in the total cost of the airport rail?
(5) Why does
the total cost for this project not include a new rail car depot?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of this question.
(1)–(5)
Planning activities are being progressed for the government's
Forrestfield–airport link project, which will help determine the number
of new rail cars required and the associated stowage and maintenance. Costs can
be accommodated within the estimated total cost.
