GOVERNMENT MOTOR VEHICLE FLEET — REDUCTION
I refer to the Premier’s pre-budget media comment that the government car fleet will be cut by 10 per cent over the forward estimates. (1) Is it planned that the cut in fleet numbers of approximately 1 200 cars will be divided evenly over the four-year period; that is, by 300 a year? (2) Will all categories of front-line personnel requiring vehicle access as part of their employment be protected from the cuts; and, if not, why not? (3) To compensate for protecting vehicle access for front-line personnel, will some agencies be required to reduce their fleet by more than 10 per cent; and, if so, which ones? (4) How many vehicles, if any, have been cut from the government car fleet to date and, of these, how many were cut from ministerial offices? Hon NORMAN MOORE

AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) No; the reduction in the number of vehicles has been planned to take into account existing lease arrangements with agencies, which are generally over a term of three years. (2) Any justifications for exemptions will be considered on a case-by-case basis. However, it is expected that in all cases efficiencies will be identified in the allocation and servicing of vehicles. (3) The answer to the member’s question is yet to be determined. (4) Nil.
