QuestionView source ↗
I refer to the Minister’s parliamentary statement of 4 December 2013 where she stated "I note that all the service providers had surplus in funding in each of the years that we are talking about that could have gone towards repair of these things", and I ask: (a) what was the total surplus funding held by the Halls Creek safe house; (b) how much of this surplus funding was allocated to other expenses; (c) who owns the building from which the Halls Creek safe house operates; and (d) does the Department for Child Protection and Family Support consider day-to-day maintenance to include significant upgrades to bathrooms?

(a) In 2012-13, the Halls Creek Safe House showed a surplus of $69,668. Of this figure, $64,684 was carried forward from the previous financial year.
(b) Nil.
(c) The Department of Housing owns the building and land from which the Halls Creek Safe House is operated.
(d) The Department for Child Protection and Family Support considers it appropriate for organisations to make provisions for day-to-day maintenance within their budget. This may accumulate to allow for larger scale repairs and upgrades; however services usually apply to Department of Housing or Lotterywest for upgrade work.
