Last week I announced a new initiative to provide facilities, such as skateboard parks, for teenagers. I intend as an immediate measure to provide assistance for a number of facilities as a pilot project, the results of which can feed into the further improvement and targeting of this initiative. As the National Children's Office is developing policies in this area, I will ask my Department to work with that office in developing the initiative.
