Mr Steel: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) The results of the annual NMF survey is expected to be available to the Directorate in April 2019.
(2) Surveys are conducted by external research organisations contracted by the Community Services Directorate (CSD). A range of stakeholders which include Canberra households, stallholders, Festival visitors, performers and volunteers are surveyed using a range of methods which include telephone, face to face and email questionnaires.
(3) Copies of the various questionnaires are at Attachment A.
(4) Since 2017, the Festival has provided additional temporary shading in Civic Square. In 2018, this included a large, custom-built shaded structure in front of the stage. This development was very favourably received by community members and visitors. In 2019, we again provided this structure as well as additional umbrellas in Civic Square.
