Park-And-Ride Facilities

In reply to Ms WORTLEY (Torrens) (4 September 2018).

The Hon. S.K. KNOLL (Schubert—Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Local Government, Minister for Planning): I have been advised of the following:

The 2018-2019 state budget provides $18.5 million, in addition to the previously provided $15 million, to expand park-and-rides along the O-Bahn corridor. The priority is to expand car parking capacity at Golden Grove and Paradise. Improvements to other locations will be considered to the extent possible with the remaining resources.

Timing of the construction of a potential park-and-ride at Klemzig is subject to the outcomes of the North East Public Transport Study (aimed at identifying further improvement options to enhance access to the O-Bahn corridor), which is currently underway.

The North East Public Transport Study is due to be completed by mid-2019, with community engagement to commence in late 2018.
