FIRE AND EMERGENCY
SERVICES — FIRE TRUCKS — DECOMMISSIONING
684. Hon RICK MAZZA to the minister representing the
Minister for Finance:
I refer to my question without
notice 238 of 18 March 2020, asked of the minister representing the Minister
for Emergency Services, to which I received the response —
The disposal of Department of Fire
and Emergency Services vehicles and equipment is governed by the State Supply
Commission disposal of goods policy.
(1) Are there any
opportunities for regional local authorities or farmers to purchase
decommissioned fire trucks directly from the State Supply Commission before
firefighting equipment has been removed?
(2) If yes, what is the process they
must follow?
(3) If no to (1), why not?
Hon STEPHEN DAWSON
replied:
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) No, the State
Supply Commission sets the policy for disposal but does not dispose of goods on
behalf of other agencies.
(2) Not applicable.
(3) The
Department of Fire and Emergency Services, as the accountable authority, is
responsible for the disposal of fire trucks.
