38 Cycle Instead The Department continues to promote cycling as an environmentally friendly, healthy, enjoyable and viable form of transport for short journeys. During this year’s Cycle Instead Bikeweek, more than 80 community events were held throughout Western Australia, as well as several well patronised major events. These included a Members of Parliament and Mayors’ Bike Ride, co-hosted by the City of Stirling, a Cycle to School Day and the annual 30-kilometre Freeway Bike Hike community ride. The ‘Cycle Instead in Spring’ campaign included a six-week Bike to Work Challenge, which began in September 2008 and engaged 1783 commuter cyclists from 97 workplaces across the State. Participants travelled a combined total of 505,194 kilometres, saving an estimated $90,900 in fuel costs. The establishment of an electronic newsletter has allowed the Department to broadcast its latest achievements and statistics on cycling in a series of very low-cost mail outs. The number of subscribers to this service continues to grow rapidly. *This activity also relates to Goal 3. www.transport.wa.gov.au/cycling Cycling infrastructure The Perth Bicycle Network (PBN) comprises a network of cycling routes that provides a safer cycling environment throughout the Perth Metropolitan area. In 2008–09, the Government allocated more than $2 million to create shared paths and other cycling facilities to extend the PBN, with major activities undertaken during the year including: • the completion of a one-kilometre principal shared path from the Bayswater train station to Tonkin Highway; and • the allocation of local government grants totalling $1 million to metropolitan local government authorities on a matching dollar-fordollar basis. In 2008–09, the Regional Bicycle Network program (formerly Country Pathways Grants Scheme) allocated $750,000 to local government authorities throughout the regions on a matching dollar-for-dollar basis to help with the planning, development and promotion of shared paths and cycling facilities in regional Western Australia. A review of the PBN commenced in 2007, with funding from the Western Australian Planning Commission. The review is to produce a comprehensive new strategic plan that reflects the Government’s environmental, health and congestion management priorities. In 2008–09, the Department presented the draft recommendations from the review to the Minister for Transport, and commenced development of a new PBN plan. *This activity also relates to Goal 3. www.transport.wa.gov.au
Goal 2. State Building – Major Projects Building strategic infrastructure that will create jobs and underpin Western Australia’s long-term economic development. Providing land for industry The Department is heavily involved in land-related matters associated with strategic infrastructure projects throughout Western Australia. A land exchange agreement was negotiated for the return of land to the State from the Ivanhoe and Carlton Hill pastoral stations that will be included into the expansion of the Ord Irrigation area in the East Kimberley. The project will double the size of the Ord irrigation area to about 28,000 hectares and will provide major opportunities for growth and sustainability for the region’s economic and social development. It represents an important breakthrough in terms of preparing for future climate change impacts on particular areas of the nation. *This activity also relates to Goal 4 and 5. http://lands.rdl.wa.gov.au/stateland Providing land to support the needs of Western Australians and deliver primary tenure for strategic infrastructure projects Over the year, the Department has completed more than 6718 separate land transactions and generated $33.418 million in total revenue from land sales that it administered as well as $11.448 million in rental from land and sea/ river bed that it leases. The Department’s State Land Services Business Unit also transferred land totalling $3,398,705 at either nominal consideration or at subsidised sale prices in line with Government agreements. *This activity also relates to Goal 5. http://lands.rdl.wa.gov.au/stateland COAG national reform agenda The Department has continued active involvement in the national reforms being progressed by the Council of Australian Governments (COAG), to ensure that Western Australia’s needs are taken into account and benefits to the State are maximised. The COAG reform agenda’s objectives were set to increase the productive capacity of the economy, address the inflationary pressures that were emerging and deliver a higher quality of service to the Australian community. Over the past year, key activities with significant impact on Western Australia involved: • Infrastructure Working Group: Infrastructure Australia’s national infrastructure audit and priorities list, which were used as the basis to subsequently allocate funding for a range of WA projects, including the Northbridge Link; • Housing Working Group: provision of $30 million from the Housing Affordability Fund for electronic development assessment; and • Business Regulation and Competition Working Group: where a third of the reform agenda impacts across the functions of the Department, including development assessment, environmental assessment and approvals, infrastructure access regulation, maritime safety regulation, national electronic conveyancing, national trade licensing (for transport occupations), ports reviews and rail safety regulation. www.transport.wa.gov.au Goal 2 39
