AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of this question. On behalf of the Minister for Transport, I provide the following response — The Public Transport Authority is not planning to contract out any new activities or programs, noting that the majority of Public Transport Authority services are already contracted out, such as Transperth bus and ferry services, the Transperth call centre, train maintenance and cleaning, most construction works, and school bus service delivery. Main Roads, in line with its normal course of business, contracts out road construction, road maintenance and other associated road building and management activities. However, it should be noted that many of these activities are also undertaken in-house. More than 60 per cent of the Disability Services Commission’s budget is currently used to purchase a range of services from disability sector organisations. Funding for disability sector organisations will continue to grow in 2010–11 and future years. In relation to the state budget 2010–11, no new activities or programs are expected to be contracted out or privatised by the Department of Transport.
