Ms VALLENCE (Evelyn) (11:43): (736) My constituency question is to the Minister for Police and Emergency Services. Minister, the Coldstream CFA Fire Brigade, which has been fighting fires and keeping our community safe since 1898, is in urgent need of a new fire station to protect the growing community in Coldstream, Yering and surrounds. For years now the brigade has been told by CFA management that a new station will be built on Crown land on Killara Road which has been specifically set aside for the station, but several fire seasons have come and gone. The government has failed the volunteer firefighters of Coldstream who put their lives on the line for fire and road trauma and has failed the community that directly benefits from being protected by these dedicated volunteers. In a budget that cuts $40 million from the CFA’s capital budget it appear there is not one cent for this new station to be built. This is just another example of how this government puts volunteer firefighters last. The Coldstream community and volunteer firefighters deserve an answer from the minister.
