The Department of the Premier and Cabinet is only able to provide information relating to the use of Government Vehicles. Information relating to the use of private vehicles cannot be provided, as they are not managed by the Department and there is no requirement for employees to report usage of a private vehicle to their employer. As such, all information provided within this answer relates only to the use of vehicles managed by the Department.
(a – b) No.
(c – d) Not applicable.
