I thank the member for some notice of this question. The Minister for Community Development has provided the following response - (1) Extensive consultation commenced with Aboriginal people in Halls Creek in May 2006. This is being done in a number of appropriate ways, including meetings, circulated illustrations and written descriptions of proposed models. Established networks in the community have ensured that as many people as possible have been included in this process. (2) Meetings have been both formal and informal by nature. Aboriginal people from Mardiwah Loop, the garden area and Quilty St, and the general Halls Creek community, including significant elders, have all participated in discussions and the development of a model. Representatives from Aboriginal organisations, including the Kimberley Language Centre, the Aboriginal Medical Service, Ngoonjuwah and the Halls Creek Alcohol Centre have also contributed. (3) Local police and Department of Education and Training, Department of Health, Department of Indigenous Affairs and Department for Community Development officers were included in community meetings, as well as being met with separately. Perth-based senior officers from the Department of Indigenous Affairs, the Department of Health, the Drug and Alcohol Office, the Department for Community Development and the Department of Housing and Works have also been consulted about the feasibility of the community-driven model. (4) Meetings were held from May until September both at a local level in Halls Creek and at a centralised level in Perth, with all the above-mentioned departments. (5) Yes. (6) The consultation sought feedback about the community’s responses and input on feasibility. (7) There has been extensive consultation with community members and government and non-government agencies about the best way forward for Halls Creek. A proposal is expected to be put before cabinet within the next few weeks. (8) This model has been developed with the local Halls Creek Aboriginal people and reflects how they visualise the hostel model will be run.
