JUVENILE OFFENDING — TARGET 120 —
ALBANY
233. Hon NICK GOIRAN to the Leader of the House representing
the Minister for Child Protection:
I refer to the minister's
media statement of 27 February 2020, which stated that the Target 120 program
will be expanded to Albany.
(1) What
information led to the decision to expand Target 120 to Albany ahead of other
possible locations?
(2) Further to (1), what other
locations were considered?
(3) Were the location options
provided to the minister in written form?
(4) If yes to (3), will the minister
table that document?
(5) On what date will Target 120
commence in Albany?
Hon SUE
ELLERY replied:
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) All Target
120 locations have been chosen on the basis of Western Australia Police Force
data about youth offending. Timing for Target 120 expansions is based on a staged
rollout of sites over 2018–19 to 2020–21.
(2)–(4) Location options are
set out in the Target 120 business case, which is cabinet-in�confidence.
(5) The Target
120 site in Albany is currently being established and is expected to be
operational in the coming months.
