AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) The $300 000
allocated to the Kimberley juvenile justice strategy in the 2019–20
budget is being used to engage the Kimberley Aboriginal Law and Cultural Centre
to lead a co-design process to develop a whole-of-Kimberley approach to
place-based crime prevention and diversion of young people. In addition, the
Department of Justice has funded the development of interim place-based
interventions totalling $475 000 in the following locations —
(a) Broome, with two grants;
(b) Fitzroy Crossing, with a grant
agreement expected to be finalised within the next week;
(c) Halls Creek, with one grant; and
(d) Kununurra, with one grant.
(2) Each of the
grant agreements has performance measures relevant to the specific location of
the grant.
