Answered on 22 February 2011
The Department of Housing advises:
(1) The funding is allocated specifically to the Kalgoorlie-Boulder and Broome sites.
(2) Nil
(3) Two.
(4) A two-stage public consultation process was conducted regarding the proposed facility (location, design, management) in Kalgoorlie-Boulder. This process was completed in October 2010, with no significant objections raised.
(5) The needs analysis was covered in the feasibility study and public consultation process for both sites.
(6) The public consultation process for Kalgoorlie-Boulder involved discussions with individual residents and representatives from a local residents organisation who had directly contacted the Department, other government agencies and community organisations with an interest in the project. The process for Broome will be based on this.
(7) The Department can provide the report upon request. Material identifying private individuals would need to be removed.
(8) Please refer to the answer in part 7.
