AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice
of the question. I provide the following answer on behalf of the Minister for
Community Services.
(1)–(4) Boorloo Bidee Mia has opened and will
progressively increase the number of residents. Boorloo Bidee Mia is
still undergoing building works. These works are being managed in a way that
minimises disruption to residents and
wraparound services. The number of residents accommodated at Boorloo Bidee Mia
at any given time will be dependent on the support needs of residents,
with the delivery of a safe, culturally appropriate and effective service being
a priority at all times. The number of residents will increase as the service
matures. It is important that the occupation of the service is scaled up
through a gradual process, with a view to maintaining appropriate safety for
all residents and staff.
