Perkins awarded DFES Emergency Services Centre in Collie
Perkins Builders are pleased to announce we have been awarded the contract for the construction of the new DFES Emergency Services Centre in Collie. The multi-purpose facility will be 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 will support career and volunteer emergency services personnel, including firefighters and SES in Collie and the South-West region. The centre will also include 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.
Perkins are excited to be involved in this great local project, which will create a large number of local jobs during construction.
A turning of the sod was held on 1st September and attended by Emergency Services Minister Francis Logan and Collie-Preston MLA Mick Murray, Aboriginal Elders and senior representatives from DFES and Perkins Builders.
