Kimberley Residential Facilities for Youth At-Risk
Applications for Kimberley Residential Facilities for Youth At-Risk – Business Cases Development are now closed
In 2023, the State Government made $500,000 available for local solutions that explore residential facilities for youth at-risk in the Kimberley Region as part of the Kimberley Youth and Community Justice Response.
A public EOI process was undertaken to identify projects to be awarded funding for the development of business cases and operational plans for residential facilities for youth at-risk across the Kimberley.
MG Corporation (Kununurra) and Emama Nguda Aboriginal Corporation (Derby) were successful in receiving funding to develop business cases.
MG Corporation developed a robust business case including proposed concept design and operational costs for a facility in Kununurra.
Emama Nguda Aborignal Corporation developed a series of operational policies and procedures that culminated in the repurposing of the Kabayji Borroo temporary disaster accommodation utilised during the Fitzroy floods into a Boarding Hostel for Aboriginal Students. The Educational Hostel had its first intake in Term 1 2024, with the goals of supporting Aboriginal young people to achieve their education goals, including their year 12 certificate.
