I refer to the $1 million allocated

assess options for the construction of a new youth detention facility at Banksia
Hill Detention Centre to replace unit 18 at Casuarina Prison.
(1) When will the business case be
completed?
(2) Once the business case is
completed, will it be made public?

I thank the Leader of the

planning and development of a new purpose-built therapeutic youth detention
facility to replace unit 18 continues.
Business case work is progressing and is expected for government review later
this year.

cabinet-in-confidence.
