DUNGEON YOUTH CENTRE — FUNDING
I refer to the Dungeon Youth Centre in Ballajura. (1) Is the minister concerned that the centre’s special project funding, obtained through the Office for Children and Youth, will expire at the end of March; and that if it is not renewed, the centre’s services will reduce to just four hours a week? (2) Will the minister consider recurrent funding of the centre; and, if not, why not? Hon LJILJANNA RAVLICH

I thank the honourable member for some notice of this question. (1) The Dungeon Youth Centre successfully applied for a one-off special project grant in March 2007 to run the computing, educational, recreation, employment and life skills program which incorporates a series of programs and activities designed to create an environment in which young people can empower themselves and seek independence. The special project grant application form and guidelines clearly state that the funding period is for up to 12 months only. (2) The community service grant program is the only recurrent funding program within the youth portfolio. The budget for this program is fully allocated, and there is no capacity to provide the Dungeon Youth Centre with recurrent funding at this time.
