The recent advertisement referred to by the honourable member was inviting submissions into the development of a single coordinated emergency services act as recommended by the Community Development and Justice Standing Committee in 2006. It had no reference to the Emergency Management Act 2005. (1)–(2) A public advertisement appeared in The West Australian on Saturday, 2 October 2010, inviting submissions, closing on Friday, 29 October 2010, on matters that were not covered by the CDJSC. The CDJSC undertook widespread consultation in 2005 as part of the inquiry into fire and emergency services legislation. The Fire and Emergency Services Authority of Western Australia determined that prior to moving to formal consultation on specific parts of the proposed new act, it was appropriate that general submissions be invited from any interested group or individual who believed that the CDJSC may have missed any particular area that would be relevant to the development of a new act. Stakeholders, volunteer associations and consultative committees will all be formally consulted next year when the draft of the bill is progressed. (3) No. (4) See (1)–(2) above.
