Is the Minister aware that there is a facility in Albany that can accommodate juveniles on remand, rather than the current and very expensive arrangement whereby juveniles from Albany on remand are transported to Perth to be held pending their court appearance?

There are no remand facilities for young people without bail in Albany. All young people in Western Australia placed on remand without bail are remanded to Rangeview Remand Centre. For young people granted bail the Department of Corrective Services will work to locate them with responsible adults or local accommodation.
