Recommendation
92. Improve justice and public safety infrastructure planning with a focus on the interdependencies of police, courts and correctional facilities by:
- pursuing collocation opportunities with government and non-government providers to establish precincts
- improving alignment and cooperation between the Department of Justice and WA Police Force to manage shared assets, including ageing regional facilities
- updating and maintaining the Long Term Custodial Infrastructure Plan based on a finalised prison network design concept model, and including a range of alternative demand scenarios that capture potential diversionary activities, based on appropriate modelling tools
- progressing long-term planning (equivalent to the Long Term Custodial Infrastructure Plan) for courts and police facilities.
