The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, Minister for Forests, Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Tourism, Minister for the Status of Women): The Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation has been advised:

1. & 2. Due to a marked reduction in petrol sniffing on the APY Lands and the findings of a review into the utilisation of the Amata Substance Misuse Facility, in September 2011 the Commonwealth and State Governments announced that the Amata Facility is to be modified to become one of three Family Wellbeing Centres on the APY Lands. This will optimise the use of the Facility and provide integrated child and family support services.
