I refer to the Minister's answer to my Question on Notice No. 7420, where he does not produce any evidence of planning for emergency services' access to the Perth Waterfront project environs. In relation to this, I ask:
(a) on what occasions did the Minister provide advice to Cabinet, and what was the scope of that advice;
(b) what advice has the Minister's department provided to other departments or stakeholders, will the Minister table that advice and, if not, why not;
(c) now that work has begun on the Waterfront Project, what advice on emergency services access has been provided to construction companies or sub-contractors or the Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority; and
(d) will the Minister guarantee full emergency vehicle access to the Waterfront project site during its construction?

The Fire and Emergency Services Authority advises:
(a - b) Advice provided is part of ongoing Cabinet deliberations.
(c) The Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority (MRA) wrote to all key stakeholders on the 24/4/2012 including FESA, to provide an overview of the project and advise of the various stages of the planned work program over the next 18 months. The MRA advised that this information will be provided to all key stakeholders, including all emergency services on a regular basis throughout the life span of the Elizabeth Quay project.
The project is currently in Stage 1 of the development which only entails site development and preliminary infrastructure work on Langley Reserve. FESA has established an internal oversight group from operational and built environment staff who will meet with the MRA Project Team and other emergency service agencies on a regular basis to ensure coordination of access to emergency services is maintained to buildings, infrastructure and hydrants during all stages of the construction phase of the project.
(d) FESA in conjunction with the MRA will coordinate and manage access issues in and around this development as it progresses.
