AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question, and I give the following response on behalf of the Minister for Police. (1) The government is committed to addressing the Western Australia Police accommodation issues at Carnarvon within the context of statewide priorities and available funding. (2)-(3) The design work for the proposed police station-courthouse is on hold pending the outcome of a revised business case that is being drafted for submission to government to resolve scope changes and funding issues. (4)-(5) The WA Police and the Department of the Attorney General preference is to locate the facility within the Carnarvon commercial-business precinct. However, the government will consider the matter during deliberations when a revised business case is provided by both the WA Police and the Department of the Attorney General.
