6015 - NEWCASTLE TRANSPORT CONSULTATION

Hornery, Sonia to the Minister for Transport and Infrastructure

Why has community consultation not been carried out in Wallsend prior to the changeover from public to private transport operators on 1 July 2017?

Answer -

I am advised:

The Government appointed Keolis Downer as the operator of Newcastle Transport on 12 December 2016. In the initial phase of operations by Keolis Downer, there are no changes to the operations of Newcastle Transport. Details about the Voice of Newcastle program are available on the Newcastle Transport website and on social media.

The Newcastle Transport team was at Wallsend Plaza on 3 July 2017 to provide information and answer questions. The community can also provide feedback at the Newcastle Transport Hub in the Hunter Street Mall or via the digital engagement tool Social Pinpoint and can stay up to date via the Newcastle Transport website and Facebook page.
