Roleystone–Kelmscott Bushfires — Inquiry
I refer to the Perth hills fire inquiry and to concerns about the level of prescribed burning. (1) Is the Department of Environment and Conservation conducting its own internal inquiry into the level of prescribed burns in the Kelmscott, Roleystone and Armadale areas in recent years? (2) If yes to (1), when will that be completed and will the minister table it? (3) If no to (1), is the department giving a submission to the inquiry headed by Mr Mick Keelty? (4) If yes to (3), will the minister make the submission public? Mr W.R. MARMION

I thank the member for Girrawheen for the question. (1)–(4) The Department of Environment and Conservation is cooperating with the Keelty inquiry. It has already made a submission. That is all I wish to say. As the member knows, the department has prescribed burning plans in place every year that are documented. Ms M.M. Quirk : Will you make the submission public? Mr W.R. MARMION : About 25 per cent of the Roleystone area had been prescribed burnt. I think 25 per cent was under the age of seven years’ growth.
