METRONET —
ELLENBROOK RAIL LINE
953. Hon TJORN SIBMA to the Leader of the House representing
the Minister for Transport:
I note the proposed schedule of
works for the Morley–Ellenbrook line.
(1) Will the works be complete in
the 2024–25 out year, as per the state budget?
(2) Will services commence on the
line in the 2024–25 out year or later?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. On behalf of the Leader of the House, I provide
the following answer on behalf of the Minister for Transport.
(1)–(2) The Morley–Ellenbrook line is anticipated
to be completed by 2024. It is important to note that the Liberal Party
promised the Ellenbrook rail line at both the 2008 and 2013 elections and did
zero work to either plan or deliver their commitments in eight and a half
years.
