Budget—arts funding
(Question No 2812)

Mrs Dunne asked the Minister for the Arts, Creative Industries and Cultural Events, upon notice, on 29 November 2019:

(1) In relation to the answer given to question on notice No 2796, can the Minister provide a table of data showing the “period of time” and associated sets of source data “attendance figures” used to calculate the average attendance of 350 000 for (a) 2019-20 and (b) each of the three years prior.

(2) What were the sources for each of the figures provided in part (1)(b) above.

(3) Why has the Government’s average figure remained static when figures provided by key arts organisations suggest an increasing average.

Mr Ramsay: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

(1) The number of attendees at programs delivered by artsACT funded organisations has been an accountability indicator since 2016-17 and is therefore reported against in each year’s CMTEDD annual report.

Please note that data is collected as part of the funding acquittal process, which is based on the calendar year. This means that the data published in each annual report refers to the previous calendar year (i.e. the 2016-17 annual report included data from the 2016 calendar year).

Figures for the 2019 calendar year will be reported against in the 2019-20 annual report, and 2020 figures will be included in the 2020-21 annual report.

(2) The source data for the performance measure is the acquittal information provided by Key Arts and Program funded organisations related to ticketed and non-ticketed events. The data is collected by the funded organisations and collated by artsACT.

(3) The target was set at 350,000 as a reasonable estimate based on the average from the 2015-16 and 2014-15 results, which was 315,000, with some growth aspiration.
