I thank the honourable member for some notice of this
question.
(1)–(4)
A preferred site for the construction of a career fire and rescue station in
Australind had been identified in the Australind Industrial Estate on Paris
Road, and a contract was entered into with the developer of the site in
November 2010. The developer of the site was placed in receivership and the
terms of the contract prevented the Fire and Emergency Services Authority from
selecting an alternative site until after the contract expired in June 2012.
Further planning is continuing on construction timing and allocation of
resources.
