(1-2) It is anticipated the Superintendent for the new West Kimberley Regional Prison will be appointed later this year. One of his/her roles will be to engage with the full range of service and program providers in the lead up to the opening of that prison. Given the scope of provision of services is yet to be clarified no funding has been allocated.
