Community Development and Justice Standing Committee
Notice of motion
Mr Reece Whitby (Minister for Police) gave notice that at the next sitting of the house he would move:
That this house requires the Community Development and Justice Standing Committee to inquire into and report on the safety, regulation and penalties associated with the use of electric-powered personal mobility devices or e-rideables, along with their compliance in accordance with existing regulations in Western Australia, including:
(1) the regulatory framework governing for-hire e-rideable devices and current compliance with existing regulations;
(2) the usage and policing of e-rideables in entertainment precincts and other highly used pedestrian areas;
(3) the compliance and classification of devices, including illegal modifications and importation;
(4) injuries, as well as insurance claim submissions, relating to e-rideables, including their frequency, severity, location and time of day; and
(5) benefits and opportunities created by e-rideables for urban mobility and active transport.
I ask that the committee report to the house by 23 October 2025.
