  • 2011-12 Budget Paper 1 Budget Speech
    Speech by Hon Christian Porter MLA Treasurer; Attorney General Thursday 19 May 2011 Mr Speaker, I move that this Bill be read a second time. INTRODUCTION Mr Speaker, the Liberal-National Government’s third budget is framed in the context of a growing Western Australian economy, but also in an environment that remains uncertain globally, and contends with uneven levels of economic activity domestically. Mr Speaker, this is a budget about fundamental choices. In preparing the 2011-12 State Budget, the Western Australian Government faced one immense structural challenge, and, in the face of that challenge, had to make a central and pivotal decision about the best approach now – for the future of our State’s economy. The problem is the rapid and massive decline in Western Australia’s share of GST grants. In short, Western Australia’s prime source of revenue for building the State’s future, our mining royalties, is being effectively transferred out of Western Australia by the Commonwealth through the Commonwealth Grants Commission (CGC), in an unprecedented way. The pivotal decision has been whether, in the face of a collapse in GST revenue over coming years, do we as a State Government wind-back our infrastructure investment program, or do we stay the course and continue to invest in the critical social and economic infrastructure that we require to prosper and continue growing. This budget will make real changes in people’s lives by transforming Western Australia through the delivery of major social infrastructure, and also by providing better services to benefit all Western Australians. Mr Speaker today I am proud to announce a $442million surplus in the 2011-12 State Budget.

  • What It's Like to Ride a Bike: Understanding Cyclist Experiences
    Curtin University Sustainability Policy (CUSP) Institute What It’s Like to Ride a Bike: Understanding Cyclist Experiences Georgia Clare Scott This thesis is presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Curtin University April 2018 Declaration To the best of my knowledge and belief this thesis contains no material previously published by any other person except where due acknowledgment has been made. This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any university. Human Ethics The research presented and reported in this thesis was conducted in accordance with the National Health and Medical Research Council National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research (2007) – updated March 2014. The proposed research study received human research ethics approval from the Curtin University Human Research Ethics Committee (EC00262), Approval Number # HURGS-14-14. Georgia Clare Scott 23 April 2018 iii Abstract Sustainability research recognises the role transport plays in shaping cities, and the destructive consequences of automobile dependency. As a low carbon, affordable, healthy and efficient transport mode, cycling necessarily contributes towards making cities more liveable and sustainable. Research thus far, however, has failed to fully engage with the experiential aspect of mobility, missing a window into both the liveability of cities and the success or failure of the transport systems within them. In response, this thesis explores how people’s experiences cycling in urban environments can be understood and used to inform transport policy. Its objectives are to contribute better understandings of urban cycling mobilities, and how such understandings can inform Australian sustainable transport policy, by comparing Western cities of high and low cycling amenity through using a combination of semi-structured and go-along interviews.

    Extract from Hansard [COUNCIL — Wednesday, 11 May 2016] p2669c-2683a Hon Ken Travers; Hon James Chown; Hon Lynn MacLaren “PUBLIC TRANSPORT FOR PERTH IN 2031” Motion HON KEN TRAVERS (North Metropolitan) [1.36 pm]: I move — (1) That the Council note that — (a) the Liberal–National government released in July 2011 a “Draft for Consultation” of their plan “Public Transport for Perth in 2031”; (b) the draft plan proposed two transformational projects by 2020 — (i) the fast-tracking of the northern suburbs railway extension to Yanchep; and (ii) construction of a central northern corridor/Curtin/UWA light rail; (c) the draft plan identified that the following infrastructure was required in the next five to 10 years — (i) a new rail station at Karnup (near Paganoni Road); and (ii) upgrades to Canning Bridge and Stirling Stations; (d) the draft plan proposed a number of on-road bus rapid transit projects be built by 2020, commencing with a bus rapid transit system between Ellenbrook and Bassendean and across to Morley. (2) That the Council calls on the government to — (a) explain why it has taken two years to release the final version of this plan; (b) outline whether it is still committed to the projects and the timelines outlined in the draft plan; and (c) provide detailed reasons, including passenger modelling, for any changes it has made to priority projects or their timing. Interestingly, notice of this motion was given some three years ago to try to find out what had happened to the government’s public transport plan that had then been sitting around and not finalised for two years.

  • Chapter 13 Understanding Cycling Behaviour in Boomtown Perth
    CHAPTER 13 UNDERSTANDING CYCLING BEHAVIOUR IN BOOMTOWN PERTH Tim Perkins and David Blake INTRODUCTION n Australia, participation rates for cycling vary substantially Iacross states and territories, yet have risen steadily over the past ten years, despite infrastructure planning and construction struggling to keep pace (Australian Bicycle Council, 2015a). This situation has led to increased confrontation between cyclists, vehicles and pedestrians. One of the main impediments to effec- tive cycling infrastructure planning is the availability of detailed information about cycling behaviour in an urban environment. To date, the acquisition of cycling information in the Perth metropolitan area has relied on static, mechanical counters or a limited range of bicycle surveys. Whilst these methods provide some information about the number of cyclists and the use of cycling infrastructure, both methods are limited in their ability to provide information about the broader spatial movement of cyclists throughout the urban landscape, particularly with regard to road usage. The advent of smartphone fitness applications (e.g. STRAVA, MapMyRide, etc.), which record an individual’s spatial movements and other associated information, provides a source of data including a more detailed understanding of cyclists’ move- ments throughout the urban landscape. The act of cycling offers a range of benefits – an environ- mentally sensitive mode of travel, physical fitness and enjoyment derived from the activity itself. In Australian cities, where Chapter 13 populations and vehicle traffic congestion are burgeoning, cycling is often the fastest mode of transport for journeys on congested roads (Australian Bicycle Council, 2010). This chapter provides an overview of cycling in Western Australia (WA) and the Perth metropolitan area in particular.
