Vehicle running costs are not broken down to the same level of job detail as that for salary allocation. Costs are a combination of lease charges and running costs. 3. $6756 was spent on lease charges for the provision of a dedicated fire vehicle for Port Kennedy at $563 per month. The lease agreement also covers scheduled maintenance and insurance. It does not cover the day to day vehicle running costs. 4. The Department of Conservation and Land Management currently houses the Port Kennedy fire vehicle at the Port Kennedy Golf Course all year round. It is available for use for fire control purposes within Port Kennedy Scientific Park or where a wildfire burning outside the park has the potential to spread into the park. The vehicle is operated by the Department, Rockingham Fire and Rescue brigades, Secret Harbour Volunteer Fire Service and the Port Kennedy Golf Course Manager. 5. The Port Kennedy Developers provided funding for the supply of a fire vehicle for use at Port Kennedy Scientific Park. This funding is held in trust by the Department. Fire vehicle lease fees are paid from the trust account. 6. The information shelter and panels have not been installed due to vandalism problems within the park in recent months. 7.

The section of vermin-proof fencing within the Scientific Park constructed by the original developer was built to a design that was considered adequate at the time. The fence construction has since been redesigned to ensure that it effectively excludes climbing predators such as cats. This design variation is not the responsibility of the original developer. 12. The upgrading of the substandard section of fencing will not be a significant financial burden for the Department. 13. No. 14.
