On behalf of the minister
representing the Minister for Police, I thank the honourable member for some
notice of this question. The following information has been provided by the
Minister for Police.

WA Police Force advises that the children's crossings unit—CCU—requires
an additional 65 traffic wardens to fulfil the capacity of existing children's
crossings in the metropolitan region. Vacant positions in regional Western Australia are managed locally and data cannot be

shortfall in warden numbers and encourage applications. The WA Police Force is seeking traffic wardens for the following suburbs:
Balcatta, Baldivis, Busselton, Como, Cottesloe, Dianella , Ellenbrook,
Fremantle, Geraldton, Harvey, Joondalup, Kalgoorlie, Kardinya, Karratha,

Shenton Park, Subiaco, Swanbourne and Willetton. Anybody interested in applying
to be a traffic warden is strongly encouraged to apply via the WA Police Force
