PRESCRIBED BURNING PROGRAM — DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND CONSERVATION
On Sunday I was down in Dwellingup, and I spoke to some fire crews. They are very concerned about the need for the Department of Environment and Conservation to undertake prescribed burning, particularly in rural–urban environments. Can the minister please give us some indication of what the government is going to provide to enable DEC to carry out a prescribed burning program and to tackle this upcoming fire season? Mr W.R. MARMION

AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for Murray–Wellington for a very good question. I know he is a strong supporter of prescribed burning and, indeed, of the local volunteer bush fire brigades. DEC has begun its prescribed burning program for this year. This year, there is a greater emphasis on the urban interface and the Perth hills. I can report that this year, in the hills and the Swan coastal plain, DEC has completed or begun 34 burns, totalling an area of around 5 500 hectares of land. This is more than double the same time last year—this is more than double what we had achieved in 2010. Whilst many of these burns are relatively small, they do provide a strategic framework and protection for residents in the Perth hills with the coming fire season. But DEC is also carrying out larger prescribed burns to the east of the Darling scarp. These burns are essential to avoid the repetition of the fire that happened in January 2005 that burnt out 28 000 hectares over a 10-day period. In terms of the south west overall, the Department of Environment and Conservation has managed to complete or begin 74 burns over a total area of 32 300 hectares since 1 July, and that will go through to 7 November. This government is very committed to prescribed burning, and supporting DEC’s capital funding to make sure that we meet our target of 200 000 hectares a year. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Member for Cannington, this is not an opportunity to try to call for another member’s attention. I am formally going to call you to order for the second time today. Mr W.R. MARMION : The Department of Environment and Conservation is well underway in spending the $5 million that was allocated this year. I can report that, so far, two additional fire trucks have been deployed to the Kimberley and one to Kalgoorlie, and an additional truck is due for delivery in Walpole early next year. Tenders have also been awarded for the supply of a bulldozer, a prime mover and a low loader for DEC’s Wanneroo complex, as well as a prime mover and low loader to DEC’s South West region. Also, back-up generators for continuity of power during bushfires is very important, and we have installed back-up generators at Collie and Mundaring, and a third one is scheduled for Albany. A tracked skid steer loader has also been delivered to DEC’s Warren region in the lower south west. Other projects that DEC will be undertaking under the $5 million program include the maintenance of airstrips—there are lots of them—at Walpole, Shannon, Nannup and Dwellingup. DEC has also upgraded two lookout towers—one at Mowen, a tower east of Margaret River; and the Solus tower near Serpentine Reservoir. A tender has also been awarded to construct a purpose-built facility at Bunbury to store a range of high-value equipment used for DEC’s mobile incident control centre during bushfires. This government remains committed to prescribed burning as the primary bushfire mitigating tool in the south west forest regions.
