McGOWAN GOVERNMENT — BUDGET MANAGEMENT

Motion

HON COLIN TINCKNELL (South West) [10.08 am] — without notice: I move —

That this house —

Use of blue-white LED streetlights disappointing: Greens

Greens Member for the North Metropolitan Region, Hon Alison Xamon, following questions in Parliament has found that the blue-white LED streetlights currently being installed are not fit for purpose and in any event will be superseded by the end of the year.

“Residents in Claremont and other suburbs that have recently had the disruptive blue-white street lights installed are justified in their concerns,” she said. “For the sake of a few months they could have had lighting that meets international standards.”

LED STREETLIGHTS

915. Hon ALISON XAMON to the minister representing the Minister for Energy:

I refer to the installation of 4000 kelvin correlated colour temperature light-emitting diode streetlights across Perth by Western Power.

(1)  In which suburbs have these streetlights already been installed?

(2)  Would the minister please table the rollout plan for these streetlights; and, if not, why not?
