(2) What feedback has the Cultural Facilities Corporation given on this proposal.

(3) What community groups have been consulted on this proposal.

(4) Will any groups’ use of the centre be curtailed during this development, and if so, which groups.

Ms Burch: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

(1) The ACT Government allocated $100,000 in 2011-12 for a Scoping Study to determine how to best create Arts Hubs in the ACT. In the first instance, Arts Hubs to be scoped will be developed for visual arts and creative industries (Kingston), performing arts (The Street Theatre) and music (Ainslie Arts Centre). These Arts Hubs will facilitate the sharing of administration and resources, so that local arts organisations can concentrate more on arts activity and programs. An officer within artsACT commenced worked on this initiative on 13 September 2011.
