The costs and savings of the Scheme will be further updated in the 2017-18 Annual Report on State Finances and the 2018-19 Mid-year Review. Significant Issues Impacting the Agency • Western Australia’s taxi and charter industry, consistent with national and international trends, has been faced with a range of challenges in recent years. Technological advances, changing customer expectations and the emergence of new competitors have driven the need for reform. • In November 2017, the State Government announced the details of its new direction for the industry. The reform will see further deregulation of Perth and regional taxis and charter services to allow for fair competition, innovation and unification of disparate sectors into a modern, customer-focused on-demand transport industry. • New legislation will be introduced in 2018 that will set the minimum standards of safety required of drivers, vehicles and booking services operating within the taxi, charter, tour and regular passenger transport sectors and establish a chain of accountability for that safety. To support the Perth taxi sector to adjust to the more open market, a buy-back of owned Perth taxi plates is proposed, funded by a levy on taxi and charter passenger fares starting or finishing in a defined Perth and Peel area. • Recently Perth, along with other Australian capital cities, has experienced a plateauing of cycling participation. Following large increases in cycling participation in line with a stronger Western Australian economy during 2010-2014, in recent years there has been a decline in cycling participation. In Perth, the 2016-17 cycling data on the Principal Shared Path (PSP) network near the CBD showed a 3% decline and reduced demand on weekends. This moderate decline indicates the stronger declines since 2014 have been arrested. • The Government’s investment in cycling infrastructure for our suburbs and our towns will attract more cyclists by providing a safe and connected network in Perth and the regions. The allocated funding will result in $23 million for the PSP expansion program, $3 million for the Safe Active Streets program and $4 million for the Perth and Regional Bike Network Grants program in 2018-19. • Demand for coastal infrastructure continues to grow with the ongoing need for new or improved facilities in both metropolitan and regional locations. To ensure the demand is met for this investment in our suburbs and towns, the Department is focusing on a number of initiatives including: − Broome Boating Facilities Upgrade Project; − construction of a public jetty in the Swan

  • Legislative Council
    Legislative Council Thursday, 26 May 2011 THE PRESIDENT (Hon Barry House) took the chair at 10.00 am, and read prayers. TRANSPERTH CONTRACTS — BUS OPERATIONS STAFF Petition Hon Ken Travers presented a petition, by delivery to the Clerk, from 151 persons regarding the lack of concern for the wellbeing of Transperth bus operators. [See paper 3341.] SKILLED LOCAL JOBS BILL 2011 Petition HON JON FORD (Mining and Pastoral) [10.02 am]: I present a petition with 133 signatures, which is couched in the following terms — To the President and Members of the Legislative Council of the Parliament of Western Australia in Parliament assembled. We the undersigned residents of Western Australia say the WA Parliament should pass laws that ensure a greater share of skilled engineering and fabrication work for our major resources projects is performed in Western Australia. Our major resources projects are increasingly sending their skilled work offshore. Many of Western Australia’s fabrication workshops are almost empty and our engineers have to go overseas if they want to help design our LNG projects. Our natural resources can only be used once and we should use the current resources construction boom to provide training and apprenticeships for our young people, so that they can have a future after the boom. Your petitioners therefore respectfully request the Legislative Council support the Skilled Local Jobs Bill 2011 with the objective of ensuring a greater share of skilled work for our major resources projects is performed in Western Australia. And your petitioners as in duty bound, will ever pray. [See paper 3335.] Hon JON FORD: Mr President, I also present a similar petition containing 395 signatures.
