I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) The
Yindjibarndi Aboriginal Corporation and the WA state government engaged in
early discussions about possible government support that would be available to
assist the community to relocate to Roebourne, as they had expressed a desire
to do so. In August 2015, YAC informed the state government that Cheeditha
residents chose not to relocate and that decision was respected.
(2) Not applicable.
