AnswerView source ↗
On behalf of the minister representing the Minister for Police and Emergency Services again, this is a fairly lengthy answer, so I seek leave to have the material incorporated into Hansard. Leave granted. The following material was incorporated - I thank the Hon. Member for some notice of this question. 1. The Fire and Emergency Services Authority (FESA) has advised the response times to the immediate south-west of the new collocated facility will be marginally increased. However, the Shire of Mundaring has agreed to provide access through Jacoby Street to the facility and the facility will be closer for other volunteer members. 2. FESA has advised that the access will be a one way unsealed minor road. The original requirement was to enable volunteers to respond to the Station as quickly as possible, not that the access road would be used for turnouts. 3A. FESA has advised the Council has agreed to provide access via a single lane. 3B. FESA has advised the Council has confirmed that the laneway will be unsealed at this stage. 3C. This is a local government matter.
