SOUTH WEST
REGIONAL CHILDREN'S SERVICES PLAN
897. Hon ADELE FARINA to the
minister representing the Minister for Community Services:
I refer to the recently released South West Regional Children's
Services Plan.
(1) Does the Minister for Community Services agree with the
report recommendations?
(2) What funding will be provided by government to implement
the report recommendations?

AnswerView source ↗

(1) The report
recommendations have been accepted by the Department of Local Government and
Communities, which is managing the regional community childcare development
fund, under which this plan was produced.
(2) The RCCDF
is funded from $9.3 million provided from the royalties for regions budget over
the past four years. The South West Regional Children's Services Plan
was developed by Investing in our Youth and its appointed regional development officer
as part of the project. The recommendations in the plan fed into an
implementation plan, which is currently being progressed by the south west
regional development officer. Investing in our Youth was provided with $340 000
to undertake this project, of which $170 000 was for implementation costs. The
RCCDF project ends on 31 December 2015 and an implementation report is due at
that date to report on the recommended actions that have been successfully
implemented.
