Environment, Planning and Sustainable Development Directorate—firefighters
(Question No 2936)

Mrs Jones asked the Minister for the Environment and Heritage, upon notice, on 21 February 2020:

(1) How many firefighters were employed by (a) ACT Parks and Conservation or (b) the broader Environment, Planning and Sustainable Development Directorate as at 30 June for each of the past 10 years.

(2) How many, if any, of these firefighters were considered non-operational.

Mr Gentleman: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

(1) The Environment, Planning and Sustainable Development Directorate (EPSDD) and ACT Parks and Conservation (PCS) do not employ firefighters – we do employ staff that undertake fire management as part of their normal land management duties. Nearly all field-based staff and the majority of office-based staff within PCS are trained and skilled to undertake land management fire duties as required.

PCS maintains a fire readiness roster of a minimum of 140 fire trained and fit employees. This has been the case for at least the last 10 years. The current rostering system shows that there are currently 156 available fire trained workers from across EPSDD.

(2) Nil as EPSDD and PCS do not employ firefighters.
