Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 620 asked in the Legislative Council on 10 August 2022 by Hon Martin Aldridge

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

CYCLONE SEROJA — REPORTING

620. Hon MARTIN ALDRIDGE to the Minister for Emergency Services:

I refer to severe tropical cyclone Seroja quarterly reporting.

(1) When was the most recent STC Seroja quarterly report published?

(2) Which agencies or stakeholders are provided with copies of the quarterly report?

(3) Will the minister please table all STC Seroja quarterly reports to date?

(4) When will the next quarterly report be published and tabled?

Hon STEPHEN DAWSON replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.

(1)–(4) The STC Seroja quarterly report is the mechanism in the approved guidelines for the approved category C or D assistance measures for the state to provide information and advice to the commonwealth on the status of the program and emerging issues. States must reach agreement with the commonwealth on public acknowledgement of commonwealth assistance, which includes reporting. As such, the reports cannot be released without commonwealth approvals. Local governments are provided with monthly cyclone Seroja recovery updates which provide statistics on the uptake in each location. These are discussed at council meetings and local recovery coordination group meetings.
