Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 1021 asked in the Legislative Council on 25 October 2022 by Hon Dr Brian Walker

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

SWAN RIVER CROSSINGS PROJECT

1021. Hon Dr BRIAN WALKER to the Leader of the House representing the Minister for Transport:

I refer the minister to the most recent Swan River Crossings project update, which states —

Our design offers a unique opportunity to provide an extra 5,000 square metres of public open space.

(1) How much public open space is there currently, and how much will there be in the proposed concept design?

(2) How much green space is there currently, and how much will there be in the proposed concept design?

(3) How many large trees are included in the project area on the south side of the river now, and how many will need to be cut down to facilitate the proposed concept design?

Hon SUE ELLERY replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.

(1)–(3) The Swan River Crossings project envisions an increase in public open space from 23 700 square metres currently to 28 800 square metres. However, this will be finalised following detailed design. Approximately four large and 11 medium-sized trees are in the project area, with additional community and stakeholder consultation to inform this aspect of the design.
