COLLIE COURTHOUSE
681. Hon NICK GOIRAN to the parliamentary secretary
representing the Attorney General:
I refer to the Attorney General's
media statement of 8 August 2022 titled ''Court services in Collie to
remain open''.
(1) What was the genesis for the
review into the Collie courthouse?
(2) When did it commence?
(3) Did the
Attorney General receive a briefing note or similar document at or around the
commencement and conclusion of the review process?
(4) Will the Attorney General table
these briefing notes?
Hon MATTHEW SWINBOURN
replied:
I thank the member for some notice
of the question. The following information has been provided to me by the
Attorney General.
(1) As part of its duty to ensure that taxpayers'
dollars are used effectively, the Department of Justice regularly
reviews services provided by the Magistrates Court in Western Australia.
(2) Approval to
consult with stakeholders was given by the Attorney General on 28 March 2022,
with consultation commencing in mid-April 2022.
(3)–(4) More
time is required to identify and review any relevant briefing notes. This will
be done as soon as practicable and the member will be advised accordingly.
