City Project edit
Planning edit
The Perth City Rail Advisory Committee was formed in October 2001 in response to controversy over the route through the Perth CBD. It consisted of eight members, including engineers, planners, and representatives from the Property Council and the Perth City Council, and was tasked with submitting its final report outlining the route options in February 2002.[1] The report was delayed as the committee found it hard to reach a consensus;[2] the report ended up being released on 14 March 2002. It proposed three options: an eastern, central, or western route.[3]
- Western route:
- Central route: This route
- Eastern route:
The eastern route was the committee's preferred route, followed by the western route. The government ruled out the eastern route as it cost more than twice the other two routes. The remaining two routes were opened up to public consultation over the following month.[3][4][5] In April 2002, it was announced that the Perth City Rail Advisory Committee would be re-established to conduct a more detailed analysis on the two remaining routes.[6] The Perth City Rail Advisory Committee handed down its report in May 2002, recommending the construction of the central route. The Cabinet of Western Australia officially endorsed this route in June.[7]
The Perth Urban Rail Development Project Supplementary Master Plan was released in August 2002.[8]
