The Liberal-National Government made an election commitment to provide 3 000 extra parking bays along the Northern and Southern rail lines. This was required as the issue of parking at train stations was ignored under the previous Labor Government. This government is on track to exceed this commitment and as a result of this initiative, train users along these lines have benefitted greatly.
The
Public Transport Authority
advises:
(1)(a - h) Currently 6 393 bays.
(2) Stirling = 4 500
Warwick = 5 200
Greenwood = 1 900
Whitfords = 4 000
Edgewater = 1 700
Joondalup = 4 500
Currambine = 1 600
Clarkson = 3 600
(3) Cost would be dependent on a range of factors including land availability.
(4) Final determinations have not been concluded but bays are planned for at least one of the stations.
(5) 90 bays with approximately 6 months.
(6) The Government will examine the possibility of providing such facilities if suitable opportunities arise, but no decision has been made.
