Provision of Ranger Services (including Environmental Health Technical Officer)

⁠⁠⁠Provide a professional local government Ranger service for a minimum of 23 hours per week, or more often if required by the Shire of Merredin, in addition to an emergency on-call service. The Environmental Health Technical Officer component will incorporate 15 hours per week. Depending on priorities at the time, there may be need for an increase in ranger hours, with corresponding decrease in Environmental Health hours (for example when undertaking fire break inspections), and vice versa.

The on-call component is a full 24/7 Ranger service. Emergency callouts will be given priority over rostered days at other local governments and vice versa.

Preference will be given to a service provider who is able to undertake both roles, however the Shire will also consider provision of the Environmental Health Technical Officer component as a separable portion.
