FIREARMS — LICENSING
493. Hon WILSON TUCKER to the minister representing the
Minister for Police:
I refer to the Western
Australia Police Force firearms licensing and registration system.
(1) For each year
from 2012–13 to 2022–23, what was the average turnaround time
for each firearm licence category, including original issue, renewal and
additional firearm applications?
(2) To date, what
has been the total allocation of funds for the development, implementation and
maintenance of the licensing and registration system?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. The Western Australia Police Force advises the
following.
(1) The WA Police
Force firearm licensing and registration system has limited reporting
capabilities and there is no avenue at the user end to provide statistics on
turnaround times.
A response to (2) cannot be provided
within the required timeframe. It is requested that the honourable member place
the question on notice.
