The PTA isresponsible for the operation of all bus, train and ferry public transport services in thegreater metropolitan area under the Transperth brand.

The PTA also exercisespowers under the Public Works Act 1902. In addition to these transport services, the PTA is responsiblefor designing, building and maintaining public transport infrastructure, and for protectingthe long-term viability of Western Australia's freight rail corridor and infrastructure. The PTA is a statutory authority established under Section 5 of thePTA Act, 'an Act to establish a State agency responsible for providing publicpassenger transport services anywhere in the State and performing functions under otherActs, to amend or repeal certain Acts, and to provide for related matters'. Section 5 establishes thePTA as a body corporate with perpetual succession. Section 6 of the PTA Act establishes the PTAas an agent of the State with the status, immunities, and privileges of the State. The PTA isan SES organisation under the Public Sector Management Act 1994 (Section 8). Under Section 70 of the PTA Act, the Minister is tocarry out a review of the operation and effectiveness of the Act as soon as is practicable atterevery fifth year anniversary of the commencement of the Act.

The review process was as follows: i.

Submissions were received from the Rail,Tram and Bus Union of WA and Mr Heymans, a citizen of Western Australia. iv. The Steering Committee reviewedthe submissions and provideda draft report, including recommendations for legislativechange to the Minister for Transport. A late submission (11111 May 2009)was received from the Deputy Commissioner of Police proposing a transport policing option which wouldresult in a change to the role of security officers on the public transport system. Shouldthis policy decision be taken by Government, a change in the PTA Act would not be required to implementthat decision. 3. TERMS OF REFERENCE The terms of reference for the revieware established by section 70 of the PTA Act and included: (a) the effectiveness of the operations of theAuthority; (b) the need for the continuation of the functionsof the Authority; and (a) any other matters that appear to the Ministerto be relevant to the operation and effectiveness of this Act. 4, RECOMMENDATIONS A review of the Public Transport Authority Act2003 recommends the following: 1.That the governance model for the PublicTransport Authority continue in its present form, a statutory authority withouta board of directors. 2.To amend PTA Regulation 34 to provide thatPTA may enter into commercial arrangements permitting third party use of Authority Propertyfor telecommunications purposes. The term of any commercial arrangement should belimited to 10 years, without obtaining the Minister's approvalor to a period between 10 to 50 years with the Minister's approval, so as to be consistent withcurrent restrictions in the PTA Act regarding creating interests in or over AuthorityProperty 3.That section 12 of the PTA Act be amendedto allow for subsidies to be paid to operators of non-commercial public transport bus servicesin limited circumstances. 4.That the PTA Act and/or Regulations include provisionsfor the Chief Executive Officer or Delegate to approve AssistanceAnimals on public transport and thata consequential amendment be made to the Dog Act1976 to remove all references to the carriage of dogs on public transport. 5.That the PTA Act include regulation makingpowers, similar to those contained in section 23(23b)(h) to (j) inclusive and section23 (23c) of the GR Act, to enable the Governor to make PTA Regulations dealing with: a.deeming the owner of a vehicle to havecommitted an offence in relation to the parking of their vehicle, unless theowner nominates the driver of the vehicle as the offender; and h.removal and disposal of abandoned vehicles. 1 6.That disciplinary procedures and penaltiesare outlined in the PTA Act. Procedures outlined in the PTA Act should reflect theprinciples of procedural fairness and natural justice. 7.That the PTA Act review includea consequential amendment to the GR Act abolishing the existing Government RailwaysAppeal Board and the PTA Act be amended to specify thatan appeal against the decision of the Chief Executive Officer to impose a disciplinary penaltymay be appealed to a constituent authority of the WA Industrial Relations Commission. Theauthority should comprise a single commissioner/ arbitrator sitting alone. 8. That the PTA Act be amendedto incorporate specific provisions to compela PTA employee to give evidence in relationto an internal investigation of a complaintor report of unacceptable behaviouror performance by an authorised personor security officer. This should not remove the privilegeagainst self-incrimination. 9.Rather than relying only on the issue ofa certificate by the Chief Executive Officer of the PTA under section 7 of the GR Acton each occasion that the issue of whether land is or is not Authority Property is indispute, it is recommended thata deeming provision be included in the PTA Act thatdeems any land on which publicpassenger transport infrastructure, except bus stops, ismanaged and controlled or operated by or on behalf of the PTA (including car parks servicing thatinfrastructure) to be Authority Property for thepurposes of the PTA Act. 10. That the powers granted under section19A of the Forrest Place Act be extendedto include transit officers appointed under thePTA Act. This would provideclarity for PTA's security personnelas to where they can and cannot exercise their security powers in relation to the eastern concourse of the CityStation. 11. That the PTA Act review includea consequential amendment to the Public Works Act to allow the construction of bus and ferryinfrastructure required for PTA tocarry out its public passenger transport functionsbe expressly recognized in that Act, andthat the Minister for Works be given theexpress power to delegate construction of bus infrastructure to PTA under section 5A ofthe Public Works Act. 12. That the PTA Act grants PTA thepower to install bus stop signage on any piece of land determined by PTA, whetheror not owned or managed and controlled by PTA, to be the most convenient location given the busroute and number of boardings and the PTA Regulations be amendedto create an offence where a person interferes with a bus stop sign, even if it is not located on AuthorityProperty. With recommendation 8, the location where bus stop signage is installedwill be deemed to be Authority property. 13. That an amendment is made to PTARegulation 6 to make it an offence fora person to be on a closed station withouta valid ticket. The recommended change will enable PTA to reduce fare evasion and discourageanti-social behaviour for thereasons stated above. 14. That the provisions of the GR Actthat contain limitations or averments throughthe referencing of "this Act" be transferred intothe PTA Act, including thepower to arrest where a person fails to provide personaldetails or provides false personal details. I 5. That section 58 of the PTA Act beamended to include 'assault ofa public officer' as an offence for which authorised "security officers" havethe power to take offenders into custody 16.

    Tourism & Transport Forum (TTF) Position Paper Smartcard ticketing on public transport July 2010 Tourism & Transport Forum (TTF) is a national, Member‐funded CEO forum, advocating the public policy interests of the 200 most prestigious corporations and institutions in the Australian tourism, transport, aviation & investment sectors. CONTENTS OVERVIEW 2 SMARTCARD TECHNOLOGY 3 ADVANTAGES OF SMARTCARD TICKETING 3 CHALLENGES FOR IMPLEMENTATION 6 SMARTCARD TICKETING IN AUSTRALIA 8 SMARTCARD TICKETING INTERNATIONALLY 10 INNOVATION IN SMARTCARD TECHNOLOGY 12 LOOKING AHEAD 14 CONCLUDING REMARKS 14 FOR FURTHER INFORMATION PLEASE CONTACT: CAROLINE WILKIE NATIONAL MANAGER, AVIATION & TRANSPORT TOURISM & TRANSPORT FORUM (TTF) P | 02 9240 2000 E | [email protected] www.ttf.org.au In short: 1. Smartcard ticketing provides convenience for commuters and efficiency gains for transport service providers. 2. Smartcard systems have been introduced in Australian cities with varying degrees of success. 3. International experience suggests that successful implementation may take many years, and difficulties are commonplace. 4. Overall, the benefits of smartcard ticketing overwhelmingly outweigh the costs and challenges that may arise in implementation. Overview Smartcard technology is being implemented around the world as a substitute for cash transactions in various capacities. When applied to public transport fare collection, smartcards eliminate the need for commuters to queue for tickets and reduce the burden on transport providers to process fare transactions. In recent years, benefits such as decreased travel times and general convenience to commuters have driven a shift towards smartcard ticketing systems on public transport systems in Australia and around the world. As well as providing more efficient transport services to commuters, smartcard ticketing systems enable service providers and transit authorities to collect comprehensive data on the travel behaviour of commuters.

For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] Perth's urban rail renaissance Abstract Over the past thirty five years, instead of being discontinued from use, Perth's urban rail network has been tripled in route length and electrified at 25,000 oltsv AC. The extensions include the Northern Suburbs Railway (with stage 1 opened in 1993 and this line reaching Butler in 2014), and, the 72 kilometre Perth Mandurah line opening in 2007. Integrated with a well run bus system, along with fast and frequent train services, there has been a near ten fold growth in rail patronage since 1981 when some 6.5 million passengers used the trains to 64.2 million in 2014-15. Bus patronage has also increased. These increases are even more remarkable given Perth's relatively low population density and high car dependence. The overall improvements in Perth's urban rail network, with many unusual initiatives, have attracted international attention.

  • Electoral Boundaries WA
    15th April 2011 Mr Warwick Gately AM Electoral Commissioner GPO Box F316 PERTH WA 6841 Dear Mr Gately Re: Western Australian Electoral Commission Boundary Redistribution 2011 The Nationals WA are pleased to offer the accompanying submission for your consideration during your deliberations on new boundaries in accordance with section 16F of the Electoral Act 1907 which was amended in 2005 by the Electoral Amendment and Repeal Bill 2005. The Nationals’ submission focuses on the minimalist approach as suggested in the preliminary observations by the Commissioners. We seek to retain the current regional boundaries and the number of districts within each region as they are at present. In accordance with the legislation, The Nationals have given due consideration to the following parameters: Maintaining a community of interest within each electorate. Land use patterns. Means of communication and distance from the capital. Physical features within each electorate. Existing boundaries of regions and districts. A key focus of The Nationals WA submission is to group Local Government Authorities with clearly demonstrable social and economic links together. In effect this has led to the creation of electorates that are compact and designed to enable constituent’s greater access to their local Member of Parliament. Consideration was also given to major commercial and population centres in each electorate to ensure residents maintained a connection with those centres they traditionally gravitate to for services, recreation and access to Government Departments. In addition to the comprehensive research undertaken to form the submission, The Nationals WA carried out a consultation process that included advice and input from Nationals’ Members of Parliament, Executive members and members of the party organisation.
