DCS is the fourth largest Government department in Western Australia, employing more than 4,000 staff under more than 20 different industrial awards. These staff members include prison officers, probation and parole officers, teachers, nurses, doctors, psychologists and administrative staff. Staff manage and supervise offenders in the State’s 14 prisons, six work camps and two juvenile detention centres as well as people on probation, parole and other community orders throughout the State. Our facilities are spread throughout Western Australia, from Wyndham in the north to Albany in the south. We are committed to making a positive difference in the lives of offenders, their families and the community and do this by providing a range of services including: employment a structured day education and vocational training health care offence-specific programs supervision and reporting counselling re-settlement services life skills cognitive skills. Our Mission Contribute to a safer Western Australian community Our key focus is to contribute to community safety by upholding the integrity of custodial and non-custodial sentences and by positively influencing offender behaviour to reduce re-offending. The outcome we aspire to achieve is: A safe, secure and decent corrective services which contributes to community safety and reduces offenders’ involvement in the justice system. This objective is behind all the work we do. It also aligns with our business outcomes which are: contributing to community safety reducing re-offending contributing to community wellbeing through our service activities fulfilling our obligations as a government agency through operational compliance and enhanced capability.

Department of Corrective Services ANNUAL REPORT 5 2009/2010 COMMISSIONER’S MESSAGE The Western Australian Department of Corrective Services provides round-the-clock critical services, 365 days a year, in what is the single biggest correctional jurisdiction in the world, covering 2.5 million square kilometres. With the skills of more than 4,000 full-time staff, we manage and supervise some 4,700 people in 14 prisons and six work camps, 6,000 offenders in the community and 150 young people in custody. This is a hard task as no offender is easy to manage. We prepare in excess of 400,000 meals in adult facilities each month and coordinate more than 50,000 prisoner movements totalling more than two million kilometres a year – that’s 52 round-the-world trips or five return trips to the moon. We organise 120,000 internal medical appointments, administering 60,000 prescriptions per year. Adult prisons alone service more than 20,000 visits per month. This is just a small sample of the work we do and much of it involves managing people who present with a range of difficulties and risks. The management of risk is a daily business for our staff and when something goes wrong it can have extremely serious consequences. A correctional service is a service that evokes much discussion, emotion and opinion about what we do and also demands significant scrutiny by a range of independent bodies. I speak with a wide range of people in the public and private sector and their views on corrections are normally sourced from the media or movies. My staff provide me with a constant source of pride and admiration for the fact that they don’t just talk or write about what should be done, they are the quiet achievers who get on with their job, regardless of the challenges they face, and in my opinion do a tremendous job that provides a critical service to the Western Australian community. Corrections in WA is an ever-changing landscape in which we need to respond to a wide range of influences, many outside of our control, such as a rapid rise in offender numbers. Offenders come under our management and supervision for many reasons and with many complex factors that cause them to offend. We cannot put up the ‘no vacancy’ sign, we cannot refuse to take someone because they present too great a risk and we cannot display emotions about the serious crimes they commit. My staff respond as a team, in a professional manner and display a ‘can do’ attitude as they go about making a positive difference in the lives of offenders while they are under the management of the Department. In 2009/2010 we set about achieving our mission through three areas of particular focus – sustainability, acknowledging our corporate social responsibility and a corporate statement about making a positive difference in whatever we do. I am proud to say we have made many inroads and although we have experienced the inevitable lows throughout the past 12 months, we have celebrated some significant achievements and milestones in our focus areas. Department of Corrective Services ANNUAL REPORT 6 2009/2010 COMMISSIONER’S MESSAGE Sustainability During the year, we made every effort to use the skills and experiences of staff and offenders to meet the growing needs of the Department. This has resulted in a range of work practices, including food production, clothing production, manufacturing, construction and caring for the environment, that provide many services to the Department and the community. This work has benefitted communities throughout the State and has resulted in millions of dollars saved by the Department and the taxpayer. By way of example, in July last year, offenders on community work orders began renovating the disused Riverbank facility in Caversham, transforming it into the Department’s new Community Work Management Unit. The offenders completed a significant amount of work including the removal of 240 cubic metres of unrecyclable furniture and rubbish, as well as the refurbishment of classrooms, workshops and office blocks. The project allowed them to comply with community work orders while achieving professional training and certification and providing infrastructure for ongoing accreditation and training for offenders. Corporate Social Responsibility Our Department’s approach to our corporate social responsibility has been to achieve an enduring benefit to the community while allowing offenders to repay their debt to society through meaningful work that teaches valuable job skills.

  • A Review of Archaeology and Rock Art in the Dampier Archipelago
    A review of archaeology and rock art in the Dampier Archipelago A report prepared for the National Trust of Australia (WA) Caroline Bird and Sylvia J. Hallam September 2006 Final draft Forward As this thoughtful and readable survey makes clear, the Burrup Peninsula and adjacent islands merit consideration as an integrated cultural landscape. Instead, the Western Australian government is sacrificing it to proclaimed industrial necessity that could have been located in a less destructive area. Before being systematically recorded, this ancient art province is divided in piecemeal fashion. Consequently, sites that are not destroyed by development become forlorn islands in an industrial complex. Twenty-five years ago the Australian Heritage Commission already had noted the region’s potential for World Heritage nomination. Today, State and corporate authorities lobby to prevent its listing even as a National Heritage place! This is shameful treatment for an area containing perhaps the densest concentration of engraved motifs in the world. The fact that even today individual motifs are estimated vaguely to number between 500,000 and one million reflects the scandalous government failure to sponsor an exhaustive survey before planned industrial expansion. It is best described as officially sanctioned cultural vandalism, impacting upon both Indigenous values and an irreplaceable heritage for all Australians. Instead of assigning conservation priorities, since 1980 more than 1800 massive engraved rocks have been wrenched from their context and sited close to a fertilizer plant. The massive gas complex, its expansion approved, sits less than a kilometre from a unique, deeply weathered engraved panel, certainly one of Australia’s most significant ancient art survivors.

  • The Natural History and Cultural Heritage of the Karratha District
    The Natural History and Cultural Heritage of the Karratha District Aboriginal Culture and Heritage Archaeological dating suggests that Aboriginal people have inhabited the Pilbara region for the past 40,000 years. Discoveries in other parts of Australia suggest they arrived on the continent sometime between 45,000 and 60,000 years ago. By the time Europeans settled in Australia, the whole of the continent had been occupied, from the deserts to the high mountains, with people speaking several hundred languages and associated with tribal territories. The evidence of their past lives and activities are present throughout the landscape and comprise a significant cultural heritage asset. Aboriginal culture and land tenure are inextricably interwoven with the creation period known as ‘the Dreaming’. According to Aboriginal belief, mythic beings traversed the country performing heroic deeds, creating physical features, plants and Pansy Hicks on Ngarluma Ngurra Photo by Sharmila Wood 2013 animals, and providing a moral basis for Aboriginal alliances. Ties of marriage influence associations social institutions. Many parts of the landscape between different tribal groups, with some members remain as testament to these ancestral beings spending extended periods outside their own territory, whose spiritual essence resides in places and particularly when going to their spouse’s homeland. objects fundamental to the continued well being and order of the social and natural world.

The Scarborough gas field is located 380 km west-north-west of the Burrup Peninsula in the north-west of Australia. Woodside Energy Ltd (Woodside) will be the development operator, with BHP Billiton Petroleum (North West Shelf) Pty Ltd (BHP) as joint venture participant. The Scarborough gas field development (Scarborough Project) includes drilling of a number of subsea gas wells (which includes wells in the Scarborough, Thebe and Jupiter reservoirs) but may also include additional future tiebacks. Wells will be tied-back to a semi-submersible Floating Production Unit (FPU) moored in approximately 900 m of water, over the Scarborough field. The FPU topsides has processing facilities for gas dehydration and compression to transport the gas through an approximately 430 km trunkline to the Woodside-operated Pluto Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) facility on the Burrup Peninsula. Woodside is proposing the brownfield expansion of Pluto LNG to process third-party gas. Which will require brownfield expansion to process the Scarborough gas. The Proposal, subject of this referral under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) and the WA Environmental Protection Act 1986 (EP Act), is defined as the State waters components of the Scarborough Project. A detailed scope of the Proposal is presented in Section 2 of the Scarborough Project Nearshore Component Supplementary Report.
