There is a non air-conditioned bus at Pardelup Prison Farm, but it is not in use for the transport of prisoners. The use of the bus is limited to commuting staff between Pardelup and Walpole Work Camp when no other vehicles are available. Pardelup are currently using two other buses for prisoner transport, both of which are air-conditioned.
(a) No. A suitable (air-conditioned) replacement vehicle will be provided.
(i) Installing air-conditioning on the non air-conditioned bus is not considered
viable due to its age.
