September 13, 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n

A \u00a0program which aims to provide opportunities for young people to become positively involved in their community instead of turning to crime, will be piloted in Cherbourg.<\/p>\n

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Partnerships Minister Mark Furner said the project was a Queensland first.<\/p>\n

It would aim to reduce property crime committed by young people and their contact with the youth justice system.<\/p>\n

“We know that finding fun, constructive things for young people to spend their time on is a key factor in setting them on a positive path for the future,” Mr Furner said.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m pleased the State Government has allocated around $220,000 to Cherbourg Aboriginal Shire Council over two years to develop and expand after-school and weekend sport and recreational activities for young people.<\/p>\n

“This funding will support the Council to employ a sports co-ordinator, enabling them to deliver positive initiatives led by the community.<\/p>\n

“Importantly, this funding will be contingent on achieving agreed outcomes, so we can all work together towards a common goal.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mr Furner said the pilot program would support community-led actions which would not only improve well-being, but also produce savings through less demand on government-funded services.<\/p>\n

Those savings would be reinvested locally, through “incentive payments” which would then provide an income stream to deliver more locally identified priorities.<\/p>\n

“Once the community has achieved the agreed targets, the Council will use their incentive funding to employ a sports co-ordinator for another year.<\/p>\n

“The pilot will build stronger partnerships between communities and government and will include engaging local people to support the evaluation of the program.”<\/p>\n

Cherbourg Mayor Arnold Murray \u00a0said he welcomed the initiative to support local ideas about engaging and inspiring Cherbourg\u2019s young people.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“As a community we are coming to together so our children and young people can experience an active, happy and positive way of life,” Cr Murray said.<\/p>\n

“This program will help our community put ideas into practice so our kids can enjoy safe and supervised sports and activities on the weekends and after-school.”<\/p>\n

Cherbourg Ministerial “champion” Dr Anthony Lynham said he was pleased to see the initiative underway.<\/p>\n

“The Mayor and I share a view that the young people of Cherbourg are the future and they must be supported to make good choices,” Dr Lynham said.<\/p>\n

Cherbourg Council will work with the Departments of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Partnerships; Education and Training; Justice and Attorney-General; National Parks, Sport and Racing; police and the South Burnett PCYC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
