Proposed Oakford Fire Station (Closed)

Posted: 01/07/2020 Closing Date: 22/07/2020 05:00 PM

The Shire is seeking public feedback through an online survey on four possible locations for the proposed new fire station for the Oakford Volunteer Bushfire Brigade.

At its meeting on 18 May 2020, Council resolved that an Advisory Group be established to prepare a multi criteria analysis for four possible sites for the proposed Oakford Fire Station. 

Community engagement is sought on the four options identified with feedback to be presented back to the group to assist in the decision process.

It is important to note that each of the sites has unique advantages and disadvantages, and these will be considered in conjunction with the community feedback received.

The location of the four proposed sites are listed below. A map is also provided below to download.

  • Current location – Lot 197 Nicholson Road – Privately-owned property
  • Reserve 40090 – Corner of Thomas Road and Anketell Road – Crown Land vested to the WA Department of Education
  • South side of Pony Place, Oakford, approximately 200 metres off Nicholson Road – Freehold land of the WA Planning Commission
  • Lot 279 Kargotich Road – Crown land vested with the Shire

Please be aware that the Shire must still secure funding from DFES to progress with the station.
