Legislative Council, Tuesday 24 March 2026
Ms FORREST question to LEADER for the GOVERNMENT in the LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL, Ms RATTRAY
Recognising that Neighbourhood Houses are increasingly stretched, relied upon as essential community infrastructure, and facing growing safety pressures, and noting the Minister’s commitment in November to undertake a Needs Analysis across the network;
- Can the Minister provide an update on where this process is up to?
ANSWER:
A procurement process is underway to appoint a consultant and determine the procedures for Neighbourhood Houses to participate.
Applications from consultants closed on 12 March 2026.
The Department of Premier and Cabinet will then undertake a process to identify the preferred consultant to commence the Needs Analysis.
