  • Fuel Management Activities in Western Australia Summary of 2019-2020
    Fuel Management Activities in Western Australia Summary of 2019-2020 dfes.wa.gov.au Fuel Management Activities in Western Australia Summary of 2019-2020 | 01 Message from the Executive Director Rural Fire Division I am pleased to present this latest annual summary of fuel management activities undertaken to manage bushfire risk across Western Australia. It is heartening to see that so many organisations managed to overcome the restrictions forced upon us by Covid-19 to continue the important task of managing bushfire risk. Some organisations were forced to change their usual approach, particularly during autumn (or the early dry season in the north), and I acknowledge the good work, innovation and personal sacrifices made by those whom contributed to this. The 2019-2020 Fuel Management Activities report shows a continuation of the trend of more organisations from across Western Australia recognising they have an important role to play in managing bushfire risk. The report again shows that a spirit of collaboration continues to drive positive outcomes for the entire Western Australian community. This year, we have included some case studies in the report that show examples of State Government, local governments and private residents working together to manage fuels. These are only a small sample of the many great stories that we have heard while compiling the report and I hope you find them as inspiring as I have. Thank you to the organisations that have contributed information to this report and congratulations on your commitment to managing bushfire risk. The great work that is being done throughout the State is crucial to enhancing our community’s resilience to bushfire.

  • SHIRE of COOLGARDIE Submission to the Select Committee Into Local Government
    SHIRE OF COOLGARDIE Submission to the Select Committee into Local Government This Submission provides a general overview of the Shire of Coolgardie and specific responses to the Committee's Terms of Reference. 1. General comments and observations 2. The Shire of Coolgardie The Shire of Coolgardie is approximately 550 kilometres east of Perth. The Shire includes the towns of Bullabulling, Coolgardie, Kambalda East, Kambalda West, Widgiemooltha and the Aboriginal community of Kurrawang. Multiple urban centres within the Shire, in particular the towns of Coolgardie and West/East Kambalda, mean that resources - human, financial and technological must be targeted as equitably as possible to all towns, yet with a consequential loss of efficiency and effectiveness which cannot be completely compensated for in funding determinations of the WA Local Government Grants Commission. Celebrated for the gold and nickel discoveries in Coolgardie and Kambalda, the Shire continues to thrive with a multitude of mining and processing companies operating in the area. The Shire of Coolgardie is home to the largest production of minerals in the Goldfields Region and the third largest in Western Australia, with gold, lithium and nickel mining operations exporting globally. In 2017 /18, local mineral production enjoyed a 25% increase equating to a total $3 .13B in the value of minerals.
