Ms BURNET – In relation to active transport and bike lanes, I’m pleased to see that the government has helped fund trials in Hobart and in other places. In relation to joining up that network – you’re looking at the Greater Hobart Bus Network review – but joining up existing bike lanes, is that part of your strategy as well? Also, is there any funding in relation to that?
Ms HEYDON – Part of what we look at with the infrastructure is where we can address gaps in active transport. Part of the Moving Hobart document, the draft document that’s out there, talks quite a bit about active transport. We do consider through the grants and through the works that we’re doing, how we can start making that a collective network that falls as part of the broader transport system. It is part of our thinking.
Ms BURNET – Presumably links up with buses? I’m aware that, when I was down at the park and ride, there wasn’t a great connection across Algona to the park and ride, and I didn’t see any bike racks.
Ms HEYDON – Part of what we’re looking at in relation to the standardisation of the park and ride is, of course, the provision of bike storage, et cetera, to support active transport. We obviously look at what we can do within our own network, as well as making those connections through with councils for any plans that they have, supporting them with grants to bridge that gap as well. That’s an iterative approach to developing that connected network.
Ms BROWN – Thanks, Chair. Minister, earlier today, the Premier agreed to table his savings strategy. Would you be willing to do the same?
Mr ABETZ – Yes, happy to do the same.
Ms BROWN – Great. That’s it. When? You’re going to take it on notice?
Mr ABETZ – Yes.
CHAIR – Are there any more questions?
Ms BURNET – Chair, just a procedural question. Those things that are being taken on notice, do they come back to each of the committee members or just the person who’s asking?
CHAIR – The committee as a whole. If there are no further questions, then time for Estimates, the Minister for Transport, has expired. The committee will resume proceedings tomorrow at 9:00 a.m
