MARGARET RIVER BUSHFIRES — INTERNAL
REVIEW
53. Hon ED DERMER to the Leader of the House representing
the Premier:
I refer to the Keelty report into the Margaret River fires in
November 2011 and the recommendation that an independent person review the
internal review of the Fire and Emergency Services Authority and the Department
of Environment and Conservation.
(1) Has a person been appointed to do that review as yet?
(2) If yes to (1), who has been appointed and when will this
review be completed?
(3) If no to (1), why not and when does the Premier
anticipate making the appointment?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the member for some notice of this question.
(1)–(3)
The request-for-quote process for an independent person or organisation to
facilitate and report on the post-incident analysis for the Margaret River
bushfire of November 2011 is still taking place, but an appointment is expected
before 12 March 2012. The successful tenderer will be expected to complete the
review and provide a report by 30 April 2012.
