The Government will provide $174.2 million in 2010‑11 for the commissioning of two new immigration detention facilities — at Northam in Western Australia and Inverbrackie in South Australia — to accommodate irregular maritime arrivals. The Northam site will be used to accommodate up to 1,500 single adult males and the Inverbrackie site, consisting of residential styled housing for family groups, will be used to accommodate up to 400 people in family groups.
The cost of this measure will be partially funded by $119.2 million previously provided to the Department of Immigration and Citizenship for the expansion of detention centre facilities.
