2012/13 Budget Capital Works<br />
The new bus bays constructed in 2010 on Challenger Parade opposite City Beach surf club<br />
attract approximately 30 students each morning. It is proposed that the $28,000 funds in the<br />
2012/13 Budget are used to construct an appropriate shelter at this site. This is not part <strong>of</strong><br />
the City Beach Redevelopment Plan. It is proposed that specific designs are invited for this<br />
shelter from shelter suppliers and if within budget, a purpose made bus stop shelter be<br />
constructed.<br />
POLICY/STATUTORY IMPLICATIONS:<br />
The <strong>Town</strong> does not currently have a policy relating to provision <strong>of</strong> bus shelters.<br />
The Perth Transport Authority <strong>of</strong> WA has guidelines for the layout and construction <strong>of</strong> the<br />
hardstand, seats and shelters at bus stops. Specific attention is given to disability<br />
requirements.<br />
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:<br />
There are no financial requirements associated with this report. Adequate funding for the<br />
proposed works is provided in the 2012/13 Budget.<br />
STRATEGIC DIRECTION:<br />
The <strong>Town</strong>'s Strategic Plan 2009 - 2020 includes goals <strong>of</strong> providing:-<br />
- services to meet the needs <strong>of</strong> ratepayers, residents and their visitors that assist with<br />
personal and community safety; and<br />
- community infrastructure and facilities that are well used and maintained through the<br />
improvement <strong>of</strong> Transport Infrastructure (roads, footpaths etc.).<br />
