(a) No. The Executive Director of Public Health has not received a report from the Department of Fire and Emergency Services (DFES) on fire safety systems at Perth Arena.
(b) Perth Arena was constructed as a Crown-owned building and therefore was not required to comply with the Health (Public Buildings) Regulations 1992.
