Park-and-Ride Facilities

In reply to Mr BOYER (Wright) (4 December 2018).

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

The electronic parking availability sign on Smart Road at Modbury for the Tea Tree Plaza park and ride is managed on behalf of the Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure by Wilsons Parking.

Wilsons Parking have advised that the sign has not been turned off but experienced intermittent issues in October 2018 due to power outages and data connection outages. However, the sign has been fully operational from mid-October to mid-January.

Advice received indicates that from 11am on 16 January 2019, the sign has been out of order and technicians are working to diagnose the fault at the earliest possible time.

Following the identification of the components needed, the department will source either a replacement sign or new componentry to ensure a long-term solution that enhances the reliability of the sign.
