I thank the member
for some notice of the question.
(1) Yes. I received the correspondence on 13
October 2025, and I will respond in due course.
(2)–(3) Prescribed burning is the state's
primary means of reducing the level of combustible fuel and the risk of
bushfire to our community and the environment. I am advised by DBCA that Wagyl
Kaip Southern Noongar Aboriginal Corporation was provided with a copy of the
Warren Region's Burn Options Program in August 2025, which included FRK 112.
