I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1)–(3) Metronet
and Transperth have directly engaged with People with Disabilities (WA) on the
impact of the Armadale–Thornlie line shutdown and the strategies being
put in place to assist all passengers. A written response was provided to PWD (WA) on 20 October 2023, which included an
offer to meet with the minister's office and Metronet. Follow-up
phone calls offering a meeting have also been made but not returned.
