Auditor-General's Report

In reply to Mr COWDREY (Colton) (12 November 2024).

The Hon. N.F. COOK (Hurtle Vale—Minister for Human Services, Minister for Seniors and Ageing Well): I have been advised:

The capital program has delivered:

a 12-bed accommodation unit with counselling and sensory rooms to better support children and young people with complex and/or disability-related needs

a new eight-bed pre-court custody accommodation unit to ensure children and young people who are not granted bail are accommodated separately to those on remand and sentenced mandates while awaiting their initial court appearance

new classroom space to better meet the learning needs of a diverse and dynamic population

extended visiting space for family and professional visits.

Capital works were delayed due to supply constraints on both labour and materials along with weather issues. Practical completion of all new buildings has been achieved and work continues on remediating final issues prior to becoming fully operational.
