(1) No. Fencing was provided together with prisoner labour as part of a Section 95 work program for a worthwhile not-for-profit Australian wildlife community project.
(2) The section 95 work program project which utilised the fencing was the Black Cockatoo Rehabilitation Centre.
(3) Not applicable.
(4) The fencing has no commercial value. Although the fencing may have had limited scrap metal value, the costs associated with removing the scrap metal outweighs that value. Therefore its use as part of a Section 95 program for prisoner up-skilling and repaying the community was determined to be of greater value.
(5) The fencing required for the construct of the aviaries was taken and reassembled at the property of the Black Cockatoo Rehabilitation Centre.
(6) The fencing was utilised to build the aviaries and was re-assembled on-site at the premises of the Black Cockatoo Preservation Society of Western Australia Inc. The fencing was not provided for use on a private property.
(7) No.
