Northern Tablelands MP Brendan Moylan has confirmed he has been investigating the accountability and the key performance indicators for service providers receiving funding from the millions of dollars dished out by the state government to tackle rural crime.
The NSW Government announced a series of sweeping reforms to address youth crime in regional NSW last year, including a $13.4 million pilot program to tackle crime in Moree, and a further $12.9 million in regional crime prevention initiatives for the rest of the state.
Mr Moylan says the reporting conditions for many services who are receiving state government funding is simply a verbal report at the end of each month, labelling the situation as madness.
He says there needs to be more accountability of funds adding when Inverell Shire Council receives funding, it all has to be acquitted and called for the same measures for service providers.
