QuestionView source ↗
I refer to the Fire and Emergency Services Authority's (FESA) requirements for connection to the Direct Brigade Alarm Network and I ask:
(a) what percentage of compliance checks are conducted within:
(i) the 10 working day notice in the metropolitan area; and
(ii) the 30 working day notice in the country areas;
(b) where compliance checks have not been conducted within the specified notice periods, what was the average wait time for the compliance check to be undertaken;
(c) how many officers are qualified to undertake compliance checks for the purposes of connection to the Direct Brigade Alarm Network; and
(d) can the Minister please confirm that the FESA Direct Brigade Alarm Manager refuses to fly to remote country areas to undertake compliance checks and if so, how this impacts on waiting times for business to be compliance checked?
