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.
