advises:
(a)  No.
(b-f) Due to difficulties in the acquisition of land in Australind for a career fire and rescue station (CFRS), the State Government recently approved the redirection of funding for the Australind CFRS towards the construction of a collocated facility in Bunbury. Building of the collocated facility is expected to commence in 2012-13 and will cater for both career and volunteer emergency services personnel. This strategy will increase the level of fire and emergency services in the Bunbury region while the issues surrounding the acquisition of land for the Australind facility are resolved.
