AnswerView source ↗
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) There was no
report prepared on the control of either bushfire. A timetable of events
extracted from the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions
bushfire reporting system is provided in a paper that I now table.
[See paper 4540 .]
(2) The
approximate cost of the response expended by DBCA for each of the bushfires is:
Mondurup Peak, $852 827; and Stirling Range
National Park, $1.439 million. There are further costs associated with response and support services that would have been incurred by the Department of Fire
and Emergency Services, local government and other agencies; however, DBCA does
not have access to these records.
(3) The approximate total expenditure incurred by DBCA
for each of the bushfires is: Mondurup Peak, $852 827; and Stirling
Range National Park, $1.655 million.
(4) Not applicable.
