QuestionView source ↗

I refer to the estimated 8,800 people expected to use the Mirrabooka light rail network during the morning peak period in 2031, and ask according to the modelling used in these estimations —
(1) How many of these people are estimated to come from areas north of Mirrabooka?
(2) How many of these people are expected to be transfers from buses?
(3) How many people are expected to require park and ride?
(4) What was the estimated population of Perth in 2031 that this modelling was based on?

The
Department of Transport
advises:
(1)  4 000.
(2)  2 900.
(3)  Park n Ride will not be the primary means of passenger access and transfer to light rail.  Rather, people will largely transfer from bus services coordinating with the light rail services or access light rail as walk-on from adjacent areas.
(4)  The estimated population in 2031 for this modelling was consistent with the Western Australian Planning Commission's population forecasts at the time.
