Emergency services—Yanchep fire station
494. Hon Simon Ehrenfeld to the minister representing
the Minister for Emergency Services:
I refer to the
Yanchep career fire station that the former Minister for Emergency Services
promised would be built in approximately 18 months after the 2025 election,
which will now not open until February 2029.
(1) What specific factors have caused the
project timeline to blow out from the promised 18-month construction period to
a construction start in December 2027 and opening four years after 2025 instead
of 18 months later?
(2) Give that the minister's predecessor
stated in January 2025 that a block of land was already available on Yanchep
Beach Road, why is the government now only settling on the land at 128 Yanchep
Road in mid-2026?

Although I have seen
that question, I have not seen an answer to date and there is not an answer for
it in my file. I will try to track it down. It may have been redirected because
it was originally directed to the Minister for Emergency Services and it may be
another minister responsible for building things. We will try to find the
answer.
