This project involved the construction of the new DFES Emergency Services Centre in Collie. The multi-purpose facility was officially named the Koolinup Emergency Services Centre and is the State’s first regionally based Level 3 Incident Control Centre, which will be activated during major emergency incidents in the South-West region, including bushfires.

The Koolinup Emergency Services Centre supports career and volunteer emergency services personnel, including firefighters and SES in Collie and the South-West region. The centre also includes an emergency driver training school for DFES and other State Government volunteers and staff, as well as providing a regional fleet management capability that will support management of the high fire season fleet as it cycles through the Collie Facility between north and south high threat periods.

This project was awarded Best Industrial Building $5-$10M at the Master Builders-Bankwest South West Building Excellence Awards 2022.
