Mayors from Walgett, Bourke, Coonamble and Brewarrina Shires will sit down with the NSW Premier Chris Minns on Tuesday 28 October to talk youth crime in the regions, after Barwon MP requested his urgent attention to repeated incidents in western plains communities.

Confirmation of the meeting follows outcry in Walgett after the local council cut opening hours at their town's pool due to an alleged assault on a lifeguard.

It was the second incident at the town pool in as many weeks and Walgett Mayor Jasen Ramien had made repeated requests to meet with the Premier around gaining support to rein in anti-social and violent behaviour.

The meeting was prompted by Barwon MP Roy Butler, who told the ABC on 22 October that he wants to help communities wanting to redirect their vulnerable young people away from crime.

"The fear of crime is still very much alive because people in small towns all know someone who's been impacted by crime, whether it's an aggravated home invasion to take car keys or some other form of assault.

"So, what we've got to try and do is get these young people out of the revolving door of getting picked up by the police, going to court and then either being bailed or being sentenced.

"For serious offenses, no question they need custody. But for minor offenses, we've really got to try and put those kids on a different path.

"That needs to be done in a way that is bespoke, unique to the community and owned by the community."

Mr Butler will join the mayoral delegation on Tuesday, and flagged discussion on expediting diversion programs and other youth crime solutions.

Premier Minns said in Parliament on Monday he would "very happily" accept the delegation.

"It's important that we listen to what's happening on the ground and implement changes that we believe will have a material impact on crime recidivism and ensure that regional communities are safe, and also that we're acting in the best interests of young offenders," Mr Minns said.

"I'm unconvinced that the regime as it currently applies is, in fact, working."
