How many jobs would it create?
It is estimated that expenditure of $50M per annum in emergency services could support 150-200 full time job equivalents, however the number of people with paid employment would likely be considerably higher given the seasonal and part-time nature of the work.
Indigenous Fire Management teams would provide contract work, and other jobs would be created in manufacturing equipment such as mobile fire units. Professional emergency services and firefighting personnel would also be expanded by at least 50 additional positions.
