QUEEN ELIZABETH II MEDICAL CENTRE PRECINCT- TRANSPORT
I am keen to have another go. I refer to the proposed redevelopment of the Queen Elizabeth II Medical Centre precinct to accommodate the functions of the existing QEII Medical Centre, Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital, Royal Perth Hospital, Princess Margaret Hospital for Children and the King Edward Memorial Hospital. (1) What assessments have been carried out to identify transport needs for the development and its integration with the local community and existing transport links, including key transport corridors, public transport requirements, parking for patients and staff, and traffic management generally? (2) Will the minister provide a copy of the reports of the assessments referred to in question (1)? Hon ADELE FARINA

I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) The Department for Planning and Infrastructure has been working actively with the Department of Health to address a number of critical transport issues that were identified in the draft structure plan for the site. A public transport master plan is being prepared by DPI to establish the future demand for and distribution of new bus services required to cater for the growth of the University of Western Australia and the QEII precinct. Current work is identifying further bus routes and bus priority measures to support these new services. It is anticipated that the master plan will be completed by the middle of the year. The QEII Medical Centre travel plan has been prepared, encompassing parking management and green transport options. This is the largest and most comprehensive travel plan for a workplace in Perth and sets out commitments to manage employee and visitor parking and access, the implementation of which will be the responsibility of the QEII Medical Centre Trust. The public transport master plan and the travel plan will underpin the final structure plan for the development of the QEII precinct and will be critical factors to be taken into account by the Western Australian Planning Commission when it considers this structure plan. These plans will be supported by an access parking strategy that the Department of Health has prepared for all hospital sites in Perth. This strategy is being finalised by the Department of Health and will seek to prioritise access to parking for patients, visitors and staff. (2) The reports for the above strategies and plans are presently working documents and will be publicly available when the structure plan for the QEII precinct has been approved by the WA Planning Commission.
