I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) Yes.
(2) Consultation
has been extensive and has involved the formation of project advisory teams
whose members work collaboratively to ensure that the operating requirements of
the relevant services are incorporated into conceptual design, detailed design
and first-of-type evaluation and trials. The project governance structure
includes a project board, with membership from all emergency service groups.
(3) The
operational fleet project is using the design and delivery model that enhances
stakeholder engagement and provides a mechanism for volunteers to offer
feedback. It also streamlines the process to deliver the design,
specifications, first-of-type and build contracts for the DFES operational
fleet. In-service vehicles are also being evaluated by volunteer brigades,
groups and units through this project.
(4) The operational fleet project
will close on 20 December 2019.
