Mr Wood - the answer to the Members question is as follows:

Canberra Festival Inc is an incorporated non-profit community organisation, and as such is not part of the ACT Government Service. The organisation enjoys a close working relationship with the Government in the presentation of major events, and receives funding through a competitive grant application process. However policy decisions on matters such as contracts for the supply of goods and services are strictly a matter for the Board of Canberra Festival Inc.
