I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) I am advised
they are in different locations across the south west of Western Australia. The
information collected by the Director of Energy Safety is being considered as
part of his active investigation into the Wickepin–Narrogin bushfire.
Releasing this information could prejudice the investigation.
(2) Under the
remediation plan, they will be remediated by the end of 2023. The three urgent
bays, which were of similar lengths and construction to the one involved in the
Wickepin–Narrogin bushfire, have been remediated.
