as our city continues to grow to close to half a million people by 2050, we have the capacity for that growth to be smart, for that growth to be in the right locations—close to services, close to jobs, close to facilities, where more people can walk, where more people can cycle, where there can be more activity on the street and where there can be livelier public places. That is why we need to ensure that we focus on the centres as part of the light rail master planning work. I am very pleased that that work has now commenced.
Ms Gallagher: I ask that all further questions be placed on the notice paper.
