(a) Records indicate that Wembley Police Station was constructed in 1955.
(b) The Western Australia (WA) Police have adopted a new service delivery model for the Perth Metropolitan area. One of the core principles of the model is to have fewer and larger police stations. This is reflected in their proposal to construct a new Western Suburbs Hub to service the Subiaco, Wembley, Cottesloe and Claremont police sub districts. The construction of a Western Suburbs Hub would result in the closure of Wembley Police Station. The construction of a Western Suburb Hub is a high priority on the WA Police's Unfunded 10 Year Capital Investment Plan.
(c) Refer to the answer to question (b). As an interim arrangement WA Police is currently scoping the closure of Subiaco Police Station and the expansion of Wembley Police Station in order to accommodate the additional staff. If such an expansion proceeds, a range of improvements will arise to existing facilities at Wembley Police Station.
(d) Currently only routine building maintenance and minor works are undertaken.
(e) This work is ongoing.
(f) Refer to the answer to question (b) and (c).
