1a. $48.5 million 1b. $49.7 million 1c. $53.4 million 1d. $54.7 million 1e. $59.0 million 2. Based on premium declaration, and applying the Insurance Council of Australia recommended Fire Service Levy (FSL) percentage loadings, FESA estimates that approximately 50% of the FSL was funded through residential insurance policies. 3. In 2003-2004 it is estimated that $82 million will be raised from the Emergency Services Levy (ESL), which includes an estimated $6.5 million for State Government properties. However, it must be noted that the old insurance-based (FSL) system and new ESL system are very different and should not be directly compared. The old system involved contributions from a combination of insurance-based FSL, State and Local Government and local community fundraising. The Career Fire & Rescue Services (CFRS) was funded 75% through FSL, 12.5% through the 35 Local Governments serviced by CFRS brigades and 12.5% by the State Government. Under the previous arrangements Local Government contributions amounted to approximately $20 million, whereas their contribution is now approximately $600,000. Furthermore, the Volunteer Fire & Rescue Service (VFRS) was totally funded by the State. Bushfire Brigades (BFBs) were funded by Local Governments and local community fund raising, and grant funding, for capital purchases, from the State. The State Emergency Service (SES), Emergency Management Services (EMS) and FESA Units were also funded in a similar manner to BFBs, via a combination of Local and State Government contributions and community based funding. As can be seen, the FSL system only previously funded 75% of the CFRS. Now the new ESL system, combined with the same level of Government funding replaces the previous inequitable funding arrangements and finances the following emergency services: · the CFRS, · VFRS brigades, · BFBs; · the SES; · EMS; and · FESA Units. The ESL also funds state-wide community safety programs and volunteer training programs. 4. As published in the 2003-2004 Budget Statements the ESL will fund Western Australia’s fire and emergency services to respond to building and bush fires, road crash rescue, hazardous and toxic material spills, storms, cyclones, floods, earthquakes and tsunamis, searches for missing persons, and cliff and cave rescues. It will also fund training of fire and emergency services volunteers, community safety programs, emergency management planning and FESA's administration costs.
