❓ A WA parliamentary question addresses concerns about antisocial behaviour of children in crisis housed at Tudor Lodge in Mt Lawley, and the future placement of these children if Tudor Lodge changes its program. The Minister's response acknowledges community concerns and outlines the assessment process for the Equip program, but lacks specific details on alternative placements.

QuestionView source ↗
I refer to the residents of Chelmsford Road, Mt Lawley, and the children in crisis who are temporarily housed at Tudor Lodge. (1) Is the minister aware that residents in the area surrounding Tudor Lodge feel threatened by the antisocial behaviours of the young people housed in this government facility? (2) Is the minister aware that some of the children who stay at Tudor Lodge have been refused accommodation at other non-government crisis accommodation, not through bed shortages, but because of their antisocial behaviours? (3) If Tudor Lodge is refurbished and its current status as a temporary refuge for children in crisis is changed to a refuge for children who are participating in the 17-week residential treatment Equip program, will only children of lower risk priority be housed at the lodge? (4) If yes, where will children in crisis, similar to those currently being housed at Tudor Lodge, be placed? (5) What is the current pro rata cost per week to house each child in crisis accommodation such as Tudor Lodge? Hon N.F. MOORE

I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) The Minister for Family and Children’s Services has met with representatives of the Norfolk precinct group and has communicated with a number of residents living in Chelmsford Road on this matter. (2) The department’s emergency accommodation service provides accommodation for young persons who are in crisis, which may include a refusal of accommodation in a non-government service. (3) Children who are in immediate crisis are not included in the Equip program. Prior to entering the program these young people are assessed for their suitability. (4) Options for these children are still being considered. (5) The Tudor Lodge emergency accommodation service in the 2000-01 financial year has a weekly budget of $17 757.02. The budget covers all salary, salary on-costs, maintenance, administration, equipment, materials and operating costs.
