I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. The Department of Fire and Emergency Services
advises the following.
(1) Mr Gary Morgan, AFSM, of the Bushfire and Natural
Hazards Cooperative Research Centre, was engaged in 2017 to undertake an
independent review of the WA traffic management policy, and his report was
completed in November 2017.
(2) Mr Morgan's
report found that Western Australia's arrangements met best practice.
The State Emergency Management Committee
subsequently noted the report and closed the Ferguson report's
recommendation 14 in November 2017.
(3) I ask the honourable member to
place this part of the question on notice.
