Grant funding location Wanneroo, WA
Statement of reason for Projects were assessed in two groups: 1) projects
decision valued at less than $1 million; and 2) projects
valued at $1 million and above.
The total project value is exactly $1 million,
comprising of a grant and co-contribution of
$500,000. This project was assessed with the
projects $1 million and above and was not
recommended by the Committee.
The Project Guidelines set out the assessment
process but were ambiguous as to the treatment of
projects valued at exactly $1 million.
The project scored 66 out of 100 and satisfied all
merit criteria, meaning that it would likely have
been successful if assessed in the 'under $1
million' category, but did not meet the higher
treshold for successful projects in the $1 million
and above category.
The then Assistant Minister for Cities indicated a
preference to fund this project given this ambiguity
and alignment with the objectives of a potential
future Pe1th City Deal.

Security and Fund- Round LTD representations to me regarding this applicant, to assess the
Criminal Four premises to assess the need for further security and safety
Justice features for the temple. The temple serves a large number of
Hindu residents, in particular families and young children. In the
current heightened security environment, and previous attacks
stemming from racial and religious intolerance, it's clear the lack
of security at the premises poses a risk to those attending and
must be upgraded to deter and minimise the risk of attacks.

Security and Fund- Round school VICTORIA INC need for enhancements to facility was dear, including upgrades to
Criminal Four fencing and the need to install a surveillance system. ln the

deter any possible attacks, especially on young people.

Criminal Four Noting the heightened security risks, its vital this organisation is
Justice able to properly protect attendees of the Church and deter
attacks against the premises or attendees. Through upgrading
their security, the applicant will be able to better minimise risks
against the children and others who regularly attend.
HA 19/20 Safer Upgrade to CANBERRA ISLAMIC $215,000 GREENWAY, 2900 I am particularly concerned about the need to provide the
National Communities Security of CENTRE INCORPORATED ACT appropriate funds to have the security of this facility upgraded
Security and Fund - Round Canberra Islamic such as fencing, controlled entry and CCTV systems. I note this
Criminal Four Centre facility has suffered attacks previously, including most recently a
Justice small suspicious fire at the premises. It has also suffered previous
attacks in 2014, including vandalism and break�ins. Noting the
heightened security environment and the need to prevent and
deter racial and religious attacks, funding should be provided to
the Canberra Islamic Centre to assist with security enhancements.

Criminal Four AUSTRALIA the Museum on 4 September 2019 the staff outlined to me how
Justice recent attacks on the Islamic community had sadly deterred many
families and schools from visiting the centre. This funding will
assist, importantly, in preventing and deterring possibly attacks at
the centre through upgrades and enhancements to security

Security and Fund- Round for AIC & 1 many young families. On 4 September 2019 I visited the Centre to
Criminal Four Walker St hear about the need for funding to build and enhance security at
Justice the premises. It was clear the current open-space design of the
building, whilst intentional, present a dangerous security risks for
those attending the Centre, especially, for example, as a car would
be able to drive directly from the main street into the building
during an attack motivated by religious or racial intolerance.

Justice provide better protection for staff and, in particular, the students
while attending the school. Peter Katsambanis MLA, State
Member for Hillarys, has also noted the escalation of religious-
based violence and general crime levels, and emphasised the need
to increase security at the school to deter and protect school
attendees from racial and religious based attacks.
HA 19/20 Safer Safe People in BELGRAVE HEIGHTS $209,706 BELGRAVE, VIC 3160 With the increase in violent attacks stemming from racial and

Justice the use of additional CCTV cameras in areas not currently covered,
and remotely controlled vehicle access from the main road (noting
recent car-based attacks). This will provide a greater deterrence
against any possible attack or criminal act against the students or
school and minimise the risk of these acts occurring in future.
Belgrave Heights Christian School also has a high portion of
children from police families and I have been made aware of
threats which have occurred against the children of police families
attending this school.
