For the purposes of natural disaster funding under the Natural Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangement (NDRRA) Determination 2011 the criteria defining an essential public asset is,
an asset of an eligible undertaking that, in the judgement of the State is an integral and necessary part of the state's infrastructure and would if lost or damaged,
severely disrupt
the normal functioning of a community
.
An eligible undertaking for the purposes of WANDRRA is body that is one of the following:
· a department or other agency of a state government; or
· established by or under a law of a state for public purposes (for example, a local government body); and
provides community, social or economic services free of charge or at a nominal charge well below the costs of production. It does not include for example Western Power, Water Corporation and other such state bodies that provide their products/services at a commercial rate.
(a) Based on the above definition, an assessment was conducted by the Shire of Waroona and the State Government Agencies (who are identified as Eligible Undertakings) which have essential public assets in that area. FESA was advised that no eligible essential public infrastructure losses occurred.
(i) The assessment was conducted on 18 January 2011 by the Shire of Waroona in consultation with other State Government Agencies.
(b) The Shire of Waroona advised that there was no loss of eligible Essential Public Assets.
(c) As there were no eligible essential public asset losses reported no items can be itemised for submission.
