EMERGENCY SERVICES — MARINE RESCUE GERALDTON
655. Hon MARTIN ALDRIDGE to the Minister for Emergency Services:
I
refer to the minister's answer to my question without notice on 30 May
2024 relating to the relocation of Marine Rescue Geraldton.
(1) Will the
state government contribute to the demolition of the building; and, if so, can
the minister please detail that commitment?
(2) If the state
government does not have control of or responsibility for the building, who
does?
(3) Given that
the likely coastal impact on the building has been known and understood since
the adoption of the City of Greater Geraldton's coastal hazard risk management
and adaptation planning in 2018, why is the state government only now
identifying land on which to relocate?
(4) What funding has been allocated
by the state government to relocate Marine Rescue Geraldton?
