I filled in the feedback form to ask if they would be building separate pedestrian/cycle paths along Burswood. Got this back:

Thank you for your email regarding the cycle ways that service the Burswood Peninsula.
The Public Transport Authority transport modelling has identified that the number of cyclists on game days as generally low due to the large pedestrian flows. While these figures may be low on game day, the new Perth Stadium will transform the Burswood Peninsula by taking advantage of its riverside views and central location and the improved cycle/pedestrian network opportunities, linking with the existing network, will activate the sports precinct on non-game days. For those patrons who choose to access the Stadium on event days on bicycle, consideration will be required to select a suitable location for bicycle parking and end of trip facilities in proximity to the Stadium, which minimises conflict with other modes of transport and high volume pedestrian areas.
The full extent of these improvements will be determined through the Transport Project Definition Plan due for completion by late 2012. The Transport Project Definition Plan will then be considered by Government and the extent of the work will be confirmed in early 2013.
Thank you for your interest in this exciting project.
