(b) if so, will the Minister give a detailed analysis of how such savings are to be made; (c) does the merger now mean that the Fremantle Cemetery will be required to impose a fee for the collection of ashes (as is the case with Karrakatta) where such a service has been offered at Fremantle free of charge till now; (d) will Fremantle’s fees-for-service now be increased in line with those charged by Karrakatta; (e) will the Minister assure the House that the Government’s plans for the merger will not result in an apparent saving to the Government internally, but directly disadvantage the Fremantle community by higher fees; (f) does the Government or any of its agencies intend disposing of any Fremantle Cemetery assets as part of the so-called efficiencies and if so specifically which assets; and (g) does the Minister not acknowledge that the merger will in effect reduce competition in Perth for cemetery services, and thus leave bereaved families potentially paying one, higher, standard fee across the metropolitan area?

(b) The prospect of savings identified by the Taskforce include: · potential to reduce debt levels of the Fremantle Cemetery Board and annual interest incurred. Fremantle has a debt equity ratio of 31.64% compared to the Metropolitan Cemeteries Board debt equity ratio of 0.03%; · operating cost savings from greater economies of scale, aggregated purchasing power and rationalisation of office technology; · savings through a reduction in the total number of Board members and reduced reporting costs; · integration of the FCB and the MCB would provide for more efficient use of assets and a coordinated approach to planning and project management across all the metropolitan cemeteries. There will be further savings through the elimination of duplication in the provision of services. (c) The Fremantle Cemetery Board eliminated the fee for the collection of ashes from 1st July 2000 and this fee will no longer apply at other metropolitan cemeteries from 1st July 2003. (d) The Metropolitan Cemeteries Board will be adopting for the Fremantle Cemetery the fee schedule approved by the Fremantle Cemetery Board for 2003/04. Fees for service at Fremantle will not increase beyond the movement in the consumer price index for at least the next 2 years. (e) See (d) above. Also, the charter for the Metropolitan Cemeteries Board is to administer all cemetery and cremation facilities and to take responsibility for planning and coordinating the development of new cemetery facilities in the metropolitan region. So far as it is practical all capital and maintenance costs will be funded by ensuring that users pay the economic cost of the services provided. The rationalisation resulting from the transfer of management of the Fremantle Cemetery should deliver savings and efficiencies and ensure that cemetery fees are fairly distributed throughout the metropolitan area. (f) There is a recognised shortage of land available for cemetery purposes throughout the metropolitan region for the longer term and certainly there is no intention to dispose of land set aside at Fremantle Cemetery. Any asset sales will be minimal and contained to efficiencies of scale in areas such as fleet management. (g) This question is partly answered in (e) above. Additionally the MCB will be adopting a performance indicator containing future fees for service within Australian median levels. It should be noted that the Board will have generally greater responsibilities than most Australian cemetery operators by virtue of its charter that includes planning, coordinating, acquiring, developing and operating multiple cemetery sites and facilities in the community interest.
