Tramlines

Mr WINGARD (Mitchell) (14:48): Supplementary: can the minister then outline who will pay for the cost of the extra bus services that might be put in place to cover the trams and/or the cost of rectification?

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee—Minister for Transport and Infrastructure, Minister Assisting the Minister for Planning, Minister Assisting the Minister for Housing and Urban Development) (14:48): As I have outlined, my advice is that the bulk of the rectification works, apart from that period of scheduled maintenance which otherwise needs to be undertaken, won't interrupt services. With reference to those services which may be interrupted, and I will have to check this, but off the top of my head I think that the period is in January 2016 when that interruption may occur. I will have to come back to the house.

It is likely to be because there is scheduled maintenance which will involve the disruption to services which we would ordinarily undertake on a periodic basis that the state would end up providing any subsequent supplementary or substitute services along that line, but I will have to take that on notice.

I think the aim of providing these rectification works at the same time that this maintenance, or outage, was scheduled already to take place was to make sure that interruptions to services would be minimised and, hence, the flow-on in terms of any substitute services. I imagine the arrangements will be the same, but I will double-check that.

Mr WINGARD: Supplementary, sir.

The SPEAKER: You can only have three supplementary questions.
