Country Fire Service

In reply to Mr ELLIS (Narungga) (3 July 2023). (Estimates Committee B)

The Hon. J.K. SZAKACS (Cheltenham—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services): I have been advised:

Maitland:

The Department for Infrastructure and Transport placed the project on hold early in 2023 and directed both CFS and SES to redo their business continuity plans to cover, and have more consideration, regarding post disaster serviceability (AS 1170.4). The sector, under SAFECOM's lead, has gone to tender for a consultant to do the BCPs. This should be completed in the next few months after which the design and subsequent delivery process can recommence.

Yorketown:

No upgrades are currently planned for the Yorketown station.
