Neighbourhood Watch

In reply to Mr ODENWALDER (Elizabeth) (26 July 2019). (Estimates Committee A)

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing): I have been advised of the following:

The Neighbourhood Watch Volunteers Association of South Australia Inc. (NHWVASA) has a constitution and regulations that are managed by the incorporated body.

Individual NHWVASA groups are guided by the Community Crime Prevention Programs Manual which was authored and is managed by South Australia Police.

Individual NHWVASA groups are not an incorporated body. However, these groups join together to create NHWVASA which is an incorporated body.

NHWVASA have a constitution and regulations which apply to administrative and business functions.
