GOVERNMENT HOUSE SECURITY OFFICE — ROOF SHINGLES
1243. Hon LOUISE KINGSTON to the Leader of the House
representing the Premier:
I notice that the jarrah shingles
are being replaced on the Government House security office and it has been brought
to my attention that the roof was completely replaced less than 12 months ago.
(1) Why are the shingles being
replaced after less than a year?
(2) Where was the jarrah sourced
from?
(3) Was this job prioritised?

This question was redirected to me
representing the Premier.
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) I am advised that in October 2023, the roof
shingles on the Government House security office were replaced as part
of a planned maintenance program. Since the maintenance took place, the
materials have warped and have been identified as being defective. The
replacement works are being completed under warranty and there is no additional
expense to government.
(2) The jarrah is sourced from recycled materials from
local demolition sites via a family business based in Gidgegannup.
(3) No. The works are being
completed under warranty.
