As the invoices for services of the 2019 Festival are still being submitted and processed, the final figure spent for the 2019 Festival cannot be provided at this time.

For the breakdown of final costs for the Festival, the data for 2016 and 2017 would require considerable manual handling and a major diversion of resources to prepare and is therefore unavailable.

For the 2018-19 financial year, this process has been systemised.

The breakdown for the 2018 Festival was manually prepared to inform budget preparations for the 2019 Festival and is provided in the table below:

	2018 $000
INFRASTRUCTURE - 3 DAYS	752
PRE-EVENT PLANNING	19
PERMITS, APPROVALS & INSURANCES	11
STAFFING & CONTRACTORS	51

(17) The National Multicultural Festival is a free public event, therefore, there are no costs to participants.

Stallholder application costs cover the construction of the stall, standard tables and chairs and power. Stallholders are responsible for all other costs associated with the operation of their stall.

Current stallholder application fees are available on the National Multicultural Festival website – www.multicultural festival.com.au - under Stalls, 2019 Stallholders Terms and Conditions.

A table covering fees for the 2016, 2017 and 2018 Festivals is at Attachment A.
