POLICE, APY LANDS

49 Mr HANNA (Mitchell) (30 September 2008).

1. When does SAPOL expect its new facilities on the APY Lands to be completed?

2. Will the new SAPOL facilities include housing for police officers located in APY communities, as opposed to Umuwa and Murputja?

3. How many sworn officers will reside permanently in local communities on the APY Lands?

The Hon. M.J. WRIGHT (Lee—Minister for Police, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing): The advice I have received is:

SAPOL expects the three new police stations to be completed between October and November 2009.

The new SAPOL facilities including houses for police officers will be located in the APY communities at Amata, Pukatja (Ernabella) and Mimili. These sites have been selected after extensive consultation with the communities and police.

Four uniform officers will reside permanently in the communities of Amata, Pukatja and Mimili. They will be supported by three uniform officers at Murputja, also the officer in charge (senior sergeant) of the APY Lands, one detective and two child and family violence officers, who will be positioned at Umuwa.
