(a) A 300kVA generator was deployed to 129 Rock Way, Lancelin from 21 December 2024 to 22 December 2024. The generator was deployed to provide community services while the supply to Lancelin had been disrupted due to a bushfire.
(b) – (c) No. While the deployment of the above may have supplied an EV charging station in Rock Way, this was incidental to the purpose to provide community services by supplying the retail outlets located on Gingin Road between Rock Way and Vins Way.
