COMMENT

Following document review (see Appendix One of the attached Draft Framework), community mapping and stakeholder consultation, Officers have developed a Draft Youth Framework which will form the strategic basis of an Action Plan to be developed by the Youth Advisory Council.

The Draft Framework focuses on important issues and priorities for young people in Broome (grouped into key themes and topics) that were identified during the various consultations that have taken places with agency stakeholders, youth service providers and young people themselves. The Framework is intended to guide the Shire’s involvement in youth services by providing a context for each area and identifying opportunities for the Shire to contribute to better outcomes for young people.

The Youth Advisory Council (YAC) will be established to direct the development and ongoing implementation of the Youth Action Plan. The YAC will not be a formal Committee of Council, but rather an informal reference group. It is anticipated that the group will participate in some decision making as well as working with Shire officers to plan and implement youth projects, events and activities that address the strategic priorities contained in the Draft Youth Framework.

Ten key priorities for young people in Broome have been identified and form the basis of the Draft Framework as attached to this report:

1. Recreation and Leisure

2. Events and Entertainment

3. Education, Training and Employment

4. A Voice for Youth

5. Community Participation and Leadership

6. Health and Wellbeing

7. Alcohol and Other Drugs

8. Safety

9. Accommodation and Transport

10. Youth Service Coordination

This report seeks Council’s adoption of the attached Draft Youth Framework which will be used to develop a Youth Action Plan. If Council adopts the Framework, Officers will engage a graphic designer to design and print the document so it can be launched and available for the community.

It is proposed to engage a specialist consultant to work with and mentor the YAC to develop the Action Plan. This will also help to establish the group, encourage participation and provide skills development not only for the young people involved but also for officers and other stakeholders.

It is also proposed that a Regional Youth Forum is held in Broome as part of National Youth Week in April 2016. Broome has been selected by the Department of Local Government and Communities as the location for the WA regional launch of National Youth Week 2016. A regional forum will provide the Minister and Councillors with the opportunity to hear firsthand the views of young people across the region. Officers will participate in a planning meeting with the other LGA’s of the Kimberley Regional Collaborative Group in early February to progress the Regional Forum and to contribute to the development of an overarching regional Youth Strategy.

CONSULTATION

Development of the Draft Framework took into account previous consultations undertaken by the Shire of Broome, West Kimberley Youth Sector Conference (WKYSC) and Bluebottle Consulting (on behalf of the Kimberley Regional Collaborative Group) which are outlined in Appendix One of the Draft Framework. Appendix Two of the Framework provides a report on the more recent consultation undertaken with young people in Broome.

POLICY IMPLICATIONS

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

A total of $38,500 is budgeted for the development of a youth engagement framework and action plan for the Shire of Broome.

An allocation of $25,000 has been included in the 2015-16 Budget and a further $13,500 per Shire has been secured by the Kimberley Regional Collaborative Group from the Department of Local Government and Communities for the development of local youth strategies for each of the Shires within the Kimberley Zone of WALGA.

While Officers propose to submit a project brief as part of the 2016/17 Budget process, it is noted that there is currently no budget allocation in the Long Term Financial Plan for the implementation of the Shire’s Youth Framework or Action Plan. On this basis, it is recommended that the Shire commences advocating for funds for implementation of the Framework and Acton Plan over the coming months.

RISK

Youth services are currently a high profile issue for the Shire of Broome. According to the Community Perceptions Survey completed this year, youth services are a high priority for the Broome community.

The development of a youth engagement framework and implementation of a youth action plan as outlined above will assist the Shire to address community expectations for youth services.

Shire of Broome Youth Engagement Framework

2016-2018 (TBA – timing to be aligned with SCP and CBP review)

Introduction from Shire President

It Starts With You - Youth Engagement Framework is the Shire of Broome’s commitment to young people in the Broome region. For the first time, a whole of community, structured framework has been developed to guide the Shire of Broome’s involvement in youth services and ensure the needs of young people are formally considered in future planning.

Council has a leadership role in understanding and responding to the needs of young people in our community and representing their interests to other spheres of Government and the broader community.

The Shire of Broome values, supports and respects our young people. We recognise the important role young people play in the social, economic and cultural life of Broome. We acknowledge young people’s right to participate in local matters and recognise the need to support their involvement in decision making and future planning for the Broome region.

An exciting and very significant outcome of this framework is the Shire’s commitment to establishing a Youth Advisory Council (YAC) for the Shire of Broome. Council looks forward to working with the YAC to ensure young people have a say on the issues that matter to them and make a real impact on the Shire’s planning and decision making processes.

Background

It Starts With You - Youth Engagement Framework provides strategic direction for the Shire of Broome to guide our involvement in youth services in the region. This is the first time the Shire of Broome has taken a strategic approach to the way we engage with and support the needs of Broome youth.

(the following information to be represented as infographics)

XXX young people aged 12 to 25 live in the Shire of Broome, representing XXX of the total population.

XX % of young people in the Shire of Broome are engaged in education, training or employment

XX % of young people in the Shire of Broome are Aboriginal

The Broome region has a young population with the median age for Aboriginal people being 23 and 32 for non-Aboriginal people. Young people are a vibrant and vital part of the Broome community and have an important role in social, cultural, economic and community life. It is important that we provide support and opportunities for young people to achieve their goals and reach their full potential as well as respecting and acknowledging their role in the Broome community.

Why have a youth framework?

The Shire of Broome has an ongoing commitment to young people, however until now there has been no strategy to guide this commitment. The framework will assist the Shire to plan and develop services and facilities which best meed the needs of the community and will ensure resources are used effectively. The framework formalises the Shire of Broome’s commitment to young people and acknowledges young peoples’ right to have a say in the issues that matter to them.

Development of the framework

The Shire of Broome, community partners and other stakeholders have conducted numerous consultations, needs analyses and research with the community in recent years to understand the needs of the community, identify strengths and gaps that exist and assist in planning for the future.

In 2012 – 2013 the Shire of Broome conducted the Broome 2040 visioning project which informed the development of the Shire of Broome Strategic Community Plan 2015-2025. The project was the most extensive gathering of community views ever undertaken by the Shire, using a wide range of techniques and technology including online surveys, workshops, and community champions as well as input from a youth forum held by the Shire in April 2013.

Other key stakeholders in the region have also conducted valuable research, consultation and analyses. Following the 2012 West Kimberley Youth Sector Conference (WKYSC) the WKYSC Working Party developed the Youth Strategy 2014-2016 to provide strategic direction for the youth sector of the West Kimberley. A diverse range of young people aged 12 to 25 years as well as youth service providers from across the West Kimberley were consulted through surveys, discussions and a service mapping exercise. Furthermore, the Kimberley Regional Collaborative Group (comprising the four Local Government Authorities in the Kimberley Region) is currently developing a Kimberley Regional Strategy and has consulted with a diverse range of young people, service providers and Local Government stakeholders. The consultation findings, analyses and recommendations from these documents have been closely examined and form a key part of the research that has informed the development of the Shire of Broome’s It Starts With You – Youth Engagement Framework.

Analyses of the existing consultation findings, research and recommendations provided an informed place to start the consultation process with a solid understanding of ‘what we already know’. Equipped with this information the Shire of Broome consulted with key stakeholders including youth service providers, community members who work closely with young people, families and of course, young people themselves. Consultation methods were designed to be interactive and stimulate discussion and included workshops, forum discussions, and brainstorming. Some consultation was conducted in formal settings and some in more youth friendly settings including Broome Senior High School, Broome Residential College and at several youth events.

How will the framework make an impact?

Under the Local Government’s mandatory Integrated Planning and Reporting Framework the Shire of Broome’s service delivery to the community is guided by two key documents:

· Strategic Community Plan

· Corporate Business Plan

The Strategic Community Plan is a high level document that reflects the long term (10+ year) community and local government aspirations and priorities. The Corporate Business Plan activates the Strategic Community Plan by setting out the short to medium term priorities to achieve the objectives and aspirations of the community.

Importantly, these guiding plans are informed by several other key strategy documents. The It Starts with You – Youth Engagement Framework is one of these documents and aligns closely with other informing strategies including the Sport and Recreation Framework, Public Art Masterplan and Disability Access and Inclusion Plan.

Framework Summary

It Starts With You – Youth Engagement Framework sets out the key priorities for young people in Broome and illustrates a vision of the outcomes and opportunities for young people in Broome. The framework outlines strategies for the Shire of Broome to work with community partners, key stakeholders and young people to achieve this vision.

Contextual information from analysis of the research and consultation findings has been provided with examples of what is already happening within each of the priority areas.

Priority Areas

Through consultation and research 10 key priorities for young people in Broome were identified and form the basis of the framework:

1. Recreation and Leisure

2. Events and Entertainment

3. Education, Training and Employment

4. A Voice for Youth

5. Community Participation and Leadership

6. Health and Wellbeing

7. Alcohol and Other Drugs

8. Safety

9. Accommodation and Transport

10. Youth Service Coordination

11.

1. Recreation and Leisure
Vision	Young people have access to a variety of recreation facilities and leisure activities as well safe, youth friendly spaces where they can ‘hang out’ and participate in programs and events.
Context	Sport, recreation and leisure opportunities are a high priority for young people. Young people in Broome continue to tell us that they need ‘more things to do’. Young people need access to a range of regular physical, cultural, educational and artistic activities to keep them engaged and stimulated. It is important for young people to have access to safe, youth friendly spaces where they feel welcome and belong. After school and on the weekend, young people congregate in the shopping centre and in Chinatown which is perceived negatively by community members who sometimes feel threatened. This is not a welcoming or engaging environment for young people. Young people also spend time at the skate park and recreation centre which are both welcoming youth spaces, although the skate park is in need of upgrade and repair. The Drop In Centre is open some afternoons and Friday and Saturday nights and is usually well attended. However, some young people see this as a place for at risk youth only.
Strategy	1.1 Provide and maintain a variety of recreation facilities for young people that enable sporting, cultural, and social activities. 1.2 Support programs, activities and events that activate youth spaces and encourage the use of public space for youth activities. 1.3 Promote and support the provision of inclusive and accessible youth spaces where young people have a sense of ownership and feel safe and welcome.
What is already happening?	Kidsport program, sporting clubs, Broome PCYC programs and activities, Garnduwa sports programs, Broome Youth and Families Hub Drop In Centre, Broome Recreation and Aquatic Centre(BRAC), Broome skate park

2. Events and Entertainment
Vision	A variety of events and entertainment opportunities are available that include or cater specifically for young people in Broome.
Context	The Broome region is host to a variety of events during the busy tourist season. It is important that these events are inclusive and accessible for young people. Young people crave entertainment and tell us that there is not enough for them to do in Broome. They have told us that they would like to see more events for young people and in particular they want underage and alcohol free music events.
Strategy	2.1 Facilitate, support and promote a range music, arts, sporting and cultural projects and events involving young people. 2.2 Coordinate and support a program of events and activities in celebration of National Youth Week each year. 2.3 Provide support, guidance and resources to the Youth Advisory Council to plan and run events and activities for their peers. 2.4 Provide advice and support to event organisers in Broome to encourage them to involve young people in their events
What is already happening?	National Youth Week events, school holiday activities, live performances at the Broome Civic Centre, indoor and outdoor cinema, Discos and Chilling Space at the Drop In Centre.

3. Education, Training and Employment
Vision	Broome youth have access to a range of quality and flexible education and training opportunities which engage and support them to prepare for the workforce. Young people are supported to gain meaningful employment which helps them to achieve financial independence and job satisfaction and make a valuable contribution to the community.
Context	Young people identified training and employment opportunities as being an important factor for their long term health and wellbeing. Many young people are not able to access education and employment close to home and need to either travel into Broome from remote communities or leave the region to pursue education and employment opportunities. Support in the areas of travel, accommodation, life skills and study methods is required for young people to access education, training and employment opportunities. Support for disengaged and at-risk youth to engage in education, training and employment has been identified as a priority.
Strategy	3.1 Establish partnerships with schools, education providers and employers to encourage service coordination and maximise opportunities for young people to pursue study and find employment. 3.2 Promote and provide work experience and employment opportunities for young people. 3.3 Establish partnerships with service providers to support young people to pursue education and employment opportunities away from home within the Broome region and beyond. 3.4 Support programs that provide support and flexible learning/working options to engage at risk and disengaged youth in education, training and employment.
What is already happening?	Transition support such as Workforce Development Centre, Employment services, in school transition support and vocational training programs, supported accommodation and boarding facilities, alternative learning programs (Broome Girls Academy and PCYC), Kimberley Training Institute and University of Notre Dame.

4. A Voice for Youth
Vision	Young people have a say about the issues that affect them and are empowered to make a meaningful contribution to decision making and future planning in their community.
Context	Local Government has a responsibility to understand and respond to the needs of young people in the community, and in order for this to happen young people must have the opportunity be heard. Young people have an important role to play in the social, economic and community life in Broome and they have the right to participate in decision making around issues that affect them. Young people tell us that it is important for them to feel represented by their government and be included in decisions that affect them. Engagement with young people must be meaningful and genuinely considered in the decision making process. Token gestures are easily identified as such and only damage young peoples’ trust in the organisation or project.
Strategy	4.1 Establish Youth Advisory Council for the Shire of Broome with membership representing the cultural, social and economic diversity of Broome youth. 4.2 Facilitate opportunities for young people to provide meaningful input into the Council decision making processes. 4.3 Integrate strategies to genuinely engage young people in all relevant community engagement and consultation conducted by the Shire of Broome
What is already happening?	High School Student Councils, Yawuru Youth Steering Committee, headspace Youth Reference Group, Shire of Broome Community Engagement Framework.

5. Community Participation and Leadership
Vision	Young are encouraged and supported to develop skills and capacity to act as role models and leaders in their community. Young people are active members of the Broome Community and make a valuable contribution to civic life.
Context	Young people are a vital and vibrant part of the Broome community and participate in community life in a range of ways including, volunteering, employment, participation in sporting clubs, school activities, membership in community groups and committees and social activities. With support and guidance young people have great potential to act as leaders and role models in the community.
Strategy	5.1 Establish partnerships with community organisations and local business to facilitate opportunities for Youth Advisory Council members and other young people to contribute to and participate in community projects and events. 5.2 Promote and support programs and initiatives in Broome that build skills and increase capacity for young people to act as role models and leaders in the community. 5.3 Identify young leaders and encourage and support them to pursue leadership development opportunities outside of Broome and to represent Broome youth at regional, state and national levels. 5.4 Establish partnerships to facilitate mentoring opportunities for Youth Advisory Council members and other young people.
What is already happening?	Existing youth leadership programs include Kimberley Girl, Aanja, ICEA, Clontarf, Broome Girls Academy, Garnduwa leadership camps, and the Broome Sports Association’s Talent Development Program. Young people participate in a range of community projects and are involved with various community groups as volunteers, committee members and participants.

6. Health and Wellbeing
Vision	Young people have access to the information, support and services they need to be healthy, happy and well and are empowered to make positive informed choices about their health and wellbeing.
Context	Health and wellbeing are integral to long term positive outcomes for young people. Health and wellbeing incorporates a wide range of factors including physical health, mental health, sexual health, social and emotional wellbeing, family environment and tobacco, alcohol and other drugs. Supporting the health and wellbeing of young people takes a whole of community approach with integrated service delivery and coordinated service provision.
Strategy	6.1 Establish partnerships with key health providers and youth services to support the delivery of education and awareness programs that promote key health messages. 6.2 Advocate for the provision of essential health services for young people in the Broome region
What is already happening?	Alice and Kicking Goals suicide prevention, headspace, Helping Minds, Strong Families, KAMSC and BRAMS community health service, Boab Health (primary healthcare and health promotion), Kimberley Population Health Unit, Cancer Council regional education,

7. Safety
Vision	Young people feel safe in their community, have skills knowledge and information to make choices about their personal safety and have access to assistance and support services when required.
Context	Safety encompasses a wide range of situations and concerns including personal safety, crime, antisocial behaviour, safe environments, cyber safety, bullying and risk taking behaviours. Issues around safety can be considered as both actual experience as well as perceptions individuals have of their situation or community. Sometimes perceived danger or threat can be worse than the reality, however is none the less cause for distress and concern. Crime and antisocial behaviour have been identified as key concerns for young people in Broome. They are concerned for their own safety and wellbeing and also have a strong awareness of social issues and desire to influence change for the benefit of others. Young people are also concerned that the actions of a few young offenders create a bad image for Broome youth as a whole. Juvenile crime is a key concern for the Broome community. Addressing issues related to juvenile crime involves both improving outcomes for young offenders as well as ensuring the safety of the community.
Strategy	7.1 Facilitate a collaborative and coordinated approach to community safety through the development of a Community Safety Plan for Broome and ensure the needs of young people are considered in the development of the plan.
What is already happening?	Broome Youth and Families Hub support services HYPE program, Shire of Broome Community Safety Working Group, Department for Child Protection and Family Services, Regional Youth Justice Services, WA Police Youth Crime Intervention Officers and Community Relations Officers

8. Alcohol and Other Drugs
Vision	Young people have the knowledge tools and support to make responsible decisions regarding drug and alcohol use.
Context	Young people identified underage drinking, drug abuse, binge drinking, smoking and peer pressure as their top concerns around alcohol and other drugs. Young people are particularly concerned about the increasing use of Ice and marijuana among youth in the Broome region. Young people are not only concerned with their own behaviour with regard to alcohol and other drugs but also that of their peers, family members and the general public. Alcohol and drug abuse in the community and street drinking make young people feel unsafe. Alcohol and drug abuse can have a significant impact on the family and home environment which can lead to difficulties at school, engaging in social and recreation activities and damage family relationships.
Strategy	8.1 Work with young people, the community and service providers to support the development of innovative and effective ways to increase awareness of and engagement with services for young people and their carers. 8.2 Support community initiatives that educate young people and raise awareness of drug and alcohol issues. 8.3 Establish partnerships to facilitate youth input into community projects and alcohol and drug awareness activities.
What is already happening?	Red Cross ‘Save a Mate’ program, Yawuru Drug Action Awareness Group, Local Drug Action Group, Broome Alcohol Management Group, Liquor Accord, Cyrenian House Milliya Rumurra outreach and rehabilitation services, Kimberley Mental Health and Drug Services, headspace, Kimberley Aboriginal Health Planning Forum – Drug and Alcohol subcommittee

9. Accommodation and Transport
Vision	Young people have access to a range of accommodation and transport options to enable them to participate in community life and have independent access to education and employment.
Context	Many young people need to leave home to access education, training, employment and health services and finding suitable accommodation and transport options can be significant challenges. Leaving the family home and finding independent accommodation is a key step for young people moving into adulthood. However the high cost of living and rental prices in the Broome region make this particularly difficult and many young people need guidance and support through this process. For some young people the family home is not always a safe or suitable environment and the lack of short term crisis accommodation for children and young people in Broome has been identified as a high priority.
Strategy	9.1 Work with service providers and agencies to identify service gaps (including crisis accommodation for young people) and advocate for additional support and resources for the Broome region. 9.2 Facilitate different transport options including bus, cycle and pedestrian routes to connect the community.
What is already happening?	Supported accommodation services including Horizon House and Madalah, Broome Youth and Families Hub Housing Support service, HYPE program

10. Service Coordination
Vision	Young people have access to a range of integrated and coordinated services and are able to easily access information about the services available to them.
Context	The Broome region has a large number of service providers who provide a diverse range of support services for young people. Collaboration and coordination of services happens largely in an ad hoc manner, with some coordinated networks existing around particular interest areas such as the Youth at Risk interagency meetings. The Broome Youth Coordinators Network (BYCN) meets monthly to share information about training and funding opportunities, provide service updates and plan for collaborative projects and events. The BYCN also maintains an email database. The BYCN functions well as an information sharing tool, however has the potential to be much more than that. The BYCN could represent its members on a regional level however strategic planning and training to build the capacity of network are required. Referral pathways help to ensure young people are connected with the most relevant and useful service for their needs, however there is a general lack of awareness and understanding of the services available to young people and information about services is not always accessible or easy to find.
Strategy	10.1 Facilitate networking, information sharing and collaboration through the Broome Youth Coordinators Network 10.2 Build the capacity of the Broome Youth Coordinators Network to act as a peak body for youth services in the Broome Region 10.3 Promote and facilitate shared training opportunities for service providers around the common issues, challenges and opportunities related to working with youth. 10.4 Develop and maintain an up to date Youth Services Directory in a format that is accessible to young people
What is already happening?	Broome Youth Coordinators Network, West Kimberley Youth Sector Conference, Kimberley Youth Strategy, collaborative events and school holiday activities.

Suggestions include a Youth Advisory Council, parks for all ages, water playgrounds, skate and BMX parks, more to do in the aquatic centre, late night basketball, holiday programs and youth accommodation.	There is a need to identify services currently provided by youth organisations and community groups in Broome and identify the gaps and areas for improvement – community mapping exercise. The next step is to identify the services that can/should be provided by the Shire and the services that are better provided by other youth service providers and agencies (Shire may support or facilitate the establishment of these services)

Report on consultation with local government in the Kimberley (December 2014)

Current involvement in youth services:

The Shire of Broome does not currently have a role in direct service provision (unlike other shires in the Kimberley Region) this is a reflection of the fact that Broome has a number of well-managed community agencies that have the capacity to provide quality services for young people.

It is intended that the youth strategy will not see a shift to direct service provision, rather expansion of the Shire’s role as a facilitator and supporter. It is anticipated youth service providers will support this (to be explored through consultation process).

NB: - report requires minor amendments as some information is incorrect.

Overarching themes:

Challenges relating to the operating environment

· Funding –lack of sustainable ongoing funding / flexibility

· Staffing – high turnover/transient population

· Family environment – lack of support from family for young people

· Challenges for service provision

Be mindful of challenges and ensure strategies exist within the youth strategy to overcome challenges.

Overarching themes:

Gaps in services for young people

· Positive engagement programs

· Transport

· Mental Health and Health services

· Employment

· Education

· Accommodation

· Need for consistent data collection

Opportunity for Shire to facilitate and support positive engagement programs – i.e. YAC

Lobby for improved transport and accommodation services – address on regional level through Kimberley Youth Strategy.

Establish local partnerships for better outcomes for young people with regard to mental health and health services, education and employment. These areas should also be considered at a regional level in the Kimberley Youth Strategy.

Overarching themes:

Community Partnerships

· Need for encouraging greater community engagement and involvement

· Need for managing community expectations / perceptions

· Perceived barriers to community participation (insurance and fees)

· Need for greater youth participation including at risk young people

· Addressing crime and antisocial behaviour

Strategies for a whole of community approach to youth services.

Need to be clear about Shire’s capacity to provide youth services with low rate payer base. Look at ways to empower the community and support non-government service providers. Leverage funding.

Perceived barriers to community participation not experienced in Broome.

Crime and anti-social behaviour relating directly to young people is to be addressed in the youth strategy, as well as at a whole of community level in the Shire’s Community Safety Plan currently under development.

Youth Engagement Strategies

Shire of Broome has had limited engagement with young people and engages mostly through youth service providers.

Other shires who offer direct service provision generally have greater levels of engagement.

SDWK have previously had a Youth Advisory Council which can be an effective means of engagement, however they caution that meaningful engagement requires multiple strategies for engagement to reflect the diversity of young people in the community.

Establish Youth Advisory Council for the Shire of Broome. Ensure representation on YAC is diverse and YAC is not a token gesture or relied upon as the only means of youth engagement.

Integrate youth engagement into all community consultation – i.e development of planning strategies

Funding of Service Provision for youth:

The Shire of Broome does not have any direct involvement in service provision – except for programs at BRAC.

SDWK are funded by DCPFS and DCS to provide youth services.

Investigate opportunities for Shire of Broome to seek funds for collaborative projects (i.e youth week) and shared resources (i.e inflatable movie screen)

Youth and Community Development Officer position is part funded by funding agreement with Rio Tinto ($30K per annum) - Investigate other opportunities.

SoB provided support to BYFH with peppercorn lease of Drop In centre. Investigate other similar opportunities to provide support.

Some funding provided to youth service providers through community sponsorship program.

Memorandums of Understanding

Network meetings facilitated by Shire’s across the Kimberley – however Kununurra are the only group to have formal terms of reference

Opportunity to formalise BYCN and establish terms of reference.

· Department of Health and Ageing

· Department for Social Services

· Department for Human Services

Funding opportunities

The majority of Government departments incorporate youth programs

Many National departments have regional offices based in the Kimberley, and most are in Broome. The Shire must strengthen existing relationships, and develop new partnerships, with regional offices to support local delivery of National strategies.

National Not For Profits:

· Australian youth Affairs Coalition

· Australian Youth Mentoring Network

· Mission Australia

National peak bodies. Source of information, support and advice. Best practice examples.

Our Youth – Our Future

There is no National overarching Youth Policy.

The WA State Government’s Our Youth – Our Future is the key strategic youth framework for the state.

· encourage young people to participate in and contribute to all aspects of community life, including through sport, recreation, culture and the arts, volunteering and involvement with decision making

· provide opportunities for young people to learn, find jobs into the future and develop life skills to help them get to where they want to be

· promote and/or create environments and accessible options for young people to connect with programs and services that best meet their needs, keep them well and promote lifelong healthy lifestyles.

Alignment of the priorities of the Shire’s Youth Framework with the priorities outlined in Our Youth – Our Future will help to ensure:

· best chance for securing funding

· Broome youth are receiving support in line with other young people across the state

· the Shire of Broome is well positioned to partner with state government departments to deliver state-wide initiatives locally.

APPENDIX TWO

Consultation Report

Analyses of existing consultation findings, research and recommendations provided an informed place to start the consultation process with a solid understanding of ‘what we already know’. Equipped with this information the Shire of Broome consulted with key stakeholders including youth service providers, community members who work closely with young people, families and of course young people themselves.

Consultation methods were designed to be interactive and stimulate discussion in including workshops, forum discussions, and brainstorming. Some consultation was conducted in formal settings and some in more youth friendly settings including Broome Senior High School, Broome Residential College and at several youth events.

Consultation with Young People

A range of young people were consulted in several settings.

Eco Beach – School Leavers expo

The Shire of Broome, along with several other youth service providers, attended the 2015 School Leavers Getaway hosted by Ramada Eco Beach on 1 December 2015.

A mini expo was set up during the lunch period on the first day. Stalls included Headspace’s chilling space, Red Cross with ‘Save a Mate’ alcohol and drug harm minimisation strategies, Cancer Council and Kimberley Population Health positive health messages and sexual health awareness, Local Drug Action Group’s alcohol education and awareness interactive activities

and the Shire of Broome’s ‘Have Your Say’ stand.

Of the 30 students who attended the Leavers Getaway, 22 participated in the mini expo activities. Participants were aged 17 and 18 years with both boys and girls participating.

Broome Senior High School

A consultation session was held with the Broome Senior High School year 9 and 10 student councillors and was attended by 8 students. These students are leaders amongst their peers and represent other students on a range of issues affecting Broome Senior High School students.

Teacher Nathan Dines also conducted a consultation session with the year 9 health class of 23 students. St Mary’s College were also invited to participate, however no response was received.

Broome Residential College

Consultation was conducted with students at the Broome Residential College. 12 students participated including residents from Looma, Derby and remote pastoral stations. Participants were aged between 13 and 16 years of age. Most of these students reside in Broome during the school term and return home to their families on the school holidays, and some on the weekends.

Young people were given three questions to consider and were asked to brainstorm their answers...

Youth Consultation Findings

What Now

This question asked youth to consider short term achievable changes that could make Broome a better place for young people.

Some suggestions included:

· Making spaces such as Drop In and the camp school more accessible and inviting

· Regular recreation activities and sporting programs(i.e. beach Frisbee competitions, dodge ball tournament, obstacle course)

· Under 18’s/all ages music events

· More sporting and fitness facilities and activities

· Youth festival

· Free wi-fi (in public spaces)

· Free classes and workshops (i.e. dance, photography, surfing)

· Promotion of programs and activities

· Better access to information about programs and services for young people

· More shops

· Bike racks with built in bike locks around town

Themes:

· Inviting and accessible spaces for young people

· More things to do

· Activities must be free or low cost

· Activities, programs and services must be accessible and well promoted

What’s on Your Mind?

This question asked young people to talk about the things that make them worried, scared, frustrated or angry. The aim of this discussion was to identify priorities for action and opportunities for young people to influence change.

Some issues and challenges raised included:

· Drug and alcohol abuse

· Bill Boys (youth gangs)

· Peer pressure

· Crime – theft, stealing, vandalism

· Antisocial behaviour – street drinking and violence

· Financial stress, high cost of living in Broome

· Community expectations and perception of young people

· Young people on the streets with nothing to do / boredom

· Family problems and fighting

· Homeless people in Chinatown

· Succeeding at school

· Finding employment

Themes

· Crime and anti-social behaviour is a big concern for young people both for fear of their safety as well as creating a bad image of youth

· Relationships with friends and family are very important to young people and this can be a cause of stress and worry

· Young people are very aware of social issues and have a desire to influence change

· Young people have a lot of stressors in their lives (school, work, finances, relationships) and teenage years are a very emotional and vulnerable time. Young people need support during this time and strategies to cope with life pressures.

Dream Big

This was an opportunity for young people to get creative and express their dreams and ideas, without having to consider obstacles such as funding, logistics and adults not supporting their crazy ideas!

Some big ideas included:

· Water park / wave pool for youth (not children)

· Bowling alley

· Paint ball

· Laser tag

· Youth Hub – with space to hang out and access to services

· Adventure Park, roller coaster

· Bounce

· Time zone

· Large scale youth festival with music, surf and skate comps (ICEA example)

· Youth space – alcohol free space for nights and weekends. Music venue

· Free wi-fi everywhere

· Direct flights to Bali (International flights from Broome)

· Underwater observatory

· More shops (especially clothing) and a bigger shopping centre

Themes

· The overriding message was that young people want more things to do

· Commercial development – shops and entertainment complexes

· Youth spaces that are accessible and inclusive for all young people (Drop In centre seen to be only for youth at risk)

DATE OF REPORT: 26 November 2015

SUMMARY: This report considers options for provision of Security Services for the Shire of Broome. Tenders were received for Security Services and officers seek Council adoption of the recommendations as contained in the confidential tender assessment report for Contract 15/05 Provision of Security Services for the period 1 February 2016 to 31 January 2018

The Shire of Broome has historically contracted Security Services to ensure staff welfare, business continuity and the retention and expansion of Broome’s iconic tourism assets and reputation is sustained. Mobile security patrols effectively monitor and identify unlocked doors, windows, signs of forced entry, vandalism and trespassing. The presence of patrol vehicles in the area can be a deterrent of crime and unwanted behaviour.

In July 2013 the Shire of Broome awarded contract 13/01 for the Provision of Security services to Lycan Pty Ltd Trading as Northwest Security for the following Shire assets and buildings:

Administration Building

Baker Street Office

Library

Civic Centre

BRAC

Depot

Waste Management Facility

Kimberley Regional Office1

Kimberley regional Office 2

Broome Visitor Centre

Magabala Books

Town Beach Cafe

Cable Beach Ablutions

Town beach Ablutions

Male Oval Ablutions

Japanese Cemetery

Cable beach Car park

Town beach Car park

Gantheaume Point Car park

Surf Club Carpark

Skate Park

Medland Pavilion, Haynes Oval

Town beach Water Spray park

Through contract 13/01 reactive security officer site attendance, crowd control and Personnel Management and Fire Warden Duties are included.

The provision of security services involves uniformed security officers undertaking ‘foot patrols’ and ‘mobile patrols’ to monitor security and provide a physical presence around the Shire’s major building assets and destinations to reduce incidents of attempted break in or malicious damage. In addition the security patrols also attend to locking and unlocking of toilet blocks, cemetery gates and beach access, and provide an Escort service to staff at BRAC and the Library on the scheduled late closing days.

The provision of Security Services can essentially be seen as a contract for supply of labour carried on out with standard working hours, with the higher the level of service sought the greater the cost. Although there are a multitude of options available based on level of service, for simplicity three main options are presented below based on high, medium and low levels of service. Due to the hours of operation and the 7 day roster internal resourcing of this service is uneconomical and not in line with conditions set out in the Shire of Broome Enterprise bargaining agreements.

The following levels of service were assessed as part of the decision to invite tenders:

Option 1 – High Service

This approach sees Security being engaged for multiple nightly patrols, response to alarm callouts, escort duties for late finishing staff, locking and unlocking of toilets and cemeteries.

This provides the highest likelihood of reduction in crime and vandalism but is also the most expensive. The services operate seven days a week 365 days a year and deals with a number of minor incidents.

Even with two or more random patrols a night there is no guarantee of Security preventing a major theft however security guards discovering evidence of illegal activity secure sites until a response from law enforcement officers.

This level of service provides the greatest visibility across assets and the random nature of patrol times would deliver the greatest deterrent of crime and antisocial behaviour of the three options. This level of service delivers excellent response times to alarm callouts and incidental cost savings for a number of locations and alarm callouts due to the scope of works.

Option 2 – Medium Service

This approach sees Security being engaged for single nightly patrols, response to alarm callouts, escort duties for late finishing staff, locking and unlocking of toilets and cemeteries.

This provides significant cost savings over Option 1 – High service with a lower likelihood of reduction in crime and vandalism while maintaining a security presence seven days a week.

Option 3 – Low Service.

This approach sees Security being engaged to provide response to alarm callouts, escort duties for late finishing staff and targeted reactive security patrols in response to areas of concern.

This provides significant cost savings over Options 1 and 2 but has a significantly lower likelihood of reducing crime and vandalism due to reduced Security presence overall. The service still operates 365 days a year.

This approach would utilise Security to check the Shires most important or vulnerable assets, however it assumes that the Shires existing Ranger Service could be utilised within their standard working hours to lock and unlock facilities, which would also provide an increased presence of Rangers at the key trouble spots of unauthorised camping and antisocial behaviour.

Security would be engaged to provide a response to out of hours alarm calls, as well as to conduct occasional night patrols of the Shires Assets. If there was evidence of an increase in problems at particular sites then Security could be engaged to ‘blitz’ particular sites or areas to remove the problem. Cost of Escort services would be directly attributed to individual facilities.

Conclusion

All three approaches rely on Shire Staff increasing their vigilance and awareness of security issues, with increased benefits flowing to the Shire particularly under Option 3 if unnecessary alarm callouts are minimised.

Provision of Security services has been identified and budgeted for in the Long Term Financial Plan and recoupable costs for security at KRO 1, KRO 2, BVC and Magabala Books are budgeted for in 15/16 financial year.

Officers invited tenders with a scope of works based upon Option 1 – High level of service due to current levels of antisocial behaviour, theft and itinerant population within proximity of major assets.

The tender was undertaken by the West Australian Local Government Association (WALGA) with a closing date of 13 October 2015, full details are contained in the attached Confidential Tender Assessment Report (WALGA Assessment Report). The Scope of Works is attached to show the extent of services to be carried out (scope of works). The contract will be for an initial period of two years with two Principal extension options consisting of one year each.

Officers recommend Council Endorse the recommendations as contained in the confidential tender assessment report for Contract 15/05 Provision of Security Services for the period 1 February 2016 to 31 January 2018.

STATUTORY ENVIRONMENT

Section 3.57 Tenders for providing goods or services

(1) A local government is required to invite tenders before it enters into a contract of a prescribed kind under which another person is to supply good or services.

(2) Regulations may make provision about tenders

Local Government (Functions and General) Regulations 1996

Section 5 R14 Requirements for publicly inviting tenders

(1) When regulation 11(1), 12 or 13 requires tenders to be publicly invited, Statewide public notice of the invitation is to be given.

(2) If the CEO has, under regulation 23(4), prepared a list of acceptable tenderers, instead of giving Statewide public notice the CEO is required to give notice of the invitation to each acceptable tenderer listed.

(2a) If a local government —

(a) is required to invite a tender; or

(b) not being required to invite a tender, decides to invite a tender, the local government must, before tenders are publicly invited, determine in writing the criteria for deciding which tender should be accepted.

(3) The notice, whether under subregulation (1) or (2), is required to include —

(a) a brief description of the goods or services required;

(b) particulars identifying a person from whom more detailed information as to may be obtained;

(c) information as to where and how tenders may be submitted; and

(d) the date and time after which tenders cannot be submitted.

(4) In subregulation (3)(b) a reference to detailed information includes a reference to —

(a) such information as the local government decides should be disclosed to those interested in submitting a tender;

(b) detailed specifications of the goods or services required;

(c) the criteria for deciding which tender should be accepted;

(d) whether or not the local government has decided to submit a tender; and

(e) whether or not the CEO has decided to allow tenders to be submitted by facsimile or other electronic means, and if so, how tenders may so be submitted.

(5) After a notice has been given under subregulation (1) or (2), a local government may vary the information referred to in subregulation (3) by taking reasonable steps to give each person who has sought copies of the tender documents or each acceptable tenderer, as the case may be, notice of the variation.

[Regulation 14 amended in Gazette 29 Jun 2001 p. 3130.]

Section 5 R15 Minimum time to be allowed for submitting tenders

(1) If the notice is published in the newspaper as part of giving Statewide public notice, the time specified in the notice as the time after which tenders cannot be submitted has to be at least 14 days after the notice is first published in the newspaper as part of giving Statewide public notice.

(2) If the notice is given to a person listed as an acceptable tenderer, the time specified in the notice as the time after which tenders cannot be submitted has to be at least 14 days after the notice is given.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

Although the proposed contract rates represent a 5% increase on rates from 2.5 years ago, they are within the budgeted expenditure for the 15/16 financial year.

RISK

Option 1 – High Service.

This provides the highest likelihood of reduction in crime and vandalism but is also the most expensive. The service operates seven days a week 365 days a year and deals with a number of minor incidents.

Option 2 – Medium Service

This provides significant cost savings over Option 1 with a lower likelihood of reduction in crime and vandalism while maintaining a security presence seven days a week.

As the estimated cost would likely be in excess of $120,000 pa the package would have to be retendered leading to a delay in commencing the contract and additional costs of retendering through WALGA of around $7,000. There could be a potential damage to the Shire’s reputation through rejecting Tender submissions with a potential reluctance for tenderees to engage in future tenders.

Option 3 –Low Service

If Option 1 is not entered into there is a greater likelihood that more break ins or acts of vandalism will occur to Shire Assets leading to financial loss, reduced business continuity and possible loss of service. No firm data is available but anecdotal evidence points to the significant deterrent impact on petty crime of night time security patrols to buildings, particularly when the patrols are carried out on foot.
