CYCLONE SEROJA — TEMPORARY WORKERS'
ACCOMMODATION
1218. Hon COLIN de GRUSSA to the Leader of the House representing the
Minister for Emergency Services:
I refer to a previous response from
the minister to a question without notice asked on 11 November 2021 that the
provision of workers' accommodation in Kalbarri in the form of a camp
with scalable facilities was very close to being delivered.
(1) What is the status of the
campsite facility?
(2) How many beds
are currently available for use; currently in use; and expected to be available
for use when the facility is fully operational?
(3) Who will run the facility and
how long will the facility operate for?
(4) Will any restrictions be placed on workers lodging
at the facility; and, if yes, please detail those restrictions ,
including any limitations on length of stay and types of worker who can stay at
the facility?
(5) Can the
minister confirm that the facility will remain part of the accommodation mix
for Kalbarri after the cyclone Seroja rebuild is completed?

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) The Department of Fire and Emergency Services is
close to finalising suitable accommodation arrangements that will meet
the needs of the local government and construction workers during the rebuild.
(2) There will be
60 beds available, and occupancy will be monitored to address the ongoing and
changing needs.
(3) Temporary workers'
accommodation will be independently managed.
(4)–(5) Processes
are in place to verify workers utilising the temporary accommodation are
dedicated to severe tropical Seroja rebuild activities.
