(a - e) The Minister is not aware of the matters to which you have referred. Occupational safety and health and human resources issues within a local government are matters that are not routinely brought to his attention. The Minister notes that steps are being taken under appropriate legislation to address occupational safety and health issues at the City of Wanneroo. While there does not appear to be a role for the Minister or his Department in this process, the Minister will seek the advice of his colleague, the Miniuster for Consumer and Employment Protection. In relation to the other issues raised, the Minister has requested a report from his Department.
