AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of this question. The Minister for Police and Emergency Services has provided the following response - (1) FESA advises that it will again supply the resources required to conduct aerial controlled burning for pastoralists in the Kimberley in 2004. All pastoralists in the Kimberley have been forwarded applications to participate in this year’s program. Once applications are returned, a program will be developed in consultation with federal and state government departments, including the Department of Conservation and Land Management. (2) FESA advises that the aerial controlled burning program is a user-pays service and the average cost to pastoralists is approximately $750 an hour plus aircraft travel costs to locations; that is, ferry costs. FESA and CALM work collaboratively to develop a cost-effective program that reduces ferrying costs to pastoralists; however, this is dependent on the number of pastoralists who participate in the program each year and the location.
