Ainslie Primary School - Future Use

(Question No. 80)

Mr Corbell asked the Chief Minister, upon notice, on 2 February 1999:

In relation to proposals for Craft ACT to utilise space at the Old Ainslie Primary School

(I) How much space is proposed to be used in the building by Craft ACT.

(2) What is the timetable for Craft ACT to occupy the building.

(3) Why is PhotoAccess, which was included in the original proposal for use of the old school building, now no longer included.

(4) Do the proposals for Craft ACT to utilise the old school building include a commercial art gallery.

(5) What other groups or organisations, if any, are proposed to utilise the site apart from Craft ACT.

Ms Carnell: The answer to the member's question is as follows:

(I) Craft ACT will relocate their current operations to the former Ainslie Infants School building. The amount of space to be used by Craft ACT is yet to be finalised.

(2) The proposed timetable is for Craft ACT to occupy the building by

August/September 1999.

(3) Craft ACT will manage the new visual arts centre and will select other suitable tenants. I am not aware that PhotoAccess is excluded from consideration.

(4) Not at this time.

(5) This is yet to be determined.
