Our investments will grow the sector through creating local jobs, building our region’s capacity and capability to create, develop and celebrate art and culture, and attracting visitors and investments in our world-class offerings right here in the ACT, which, in turn, creates more opportunities and more support for artists and more jobs. A rising tide lifts all boats, and our ambition aims to do just that by supporting the entire Canberra arts ecosystem, ranging from small-scale arts and crafts hawkers to big-production tours and concerts.
Just some of our initiatives include: more than $4 million to progress site investigations and planning for an expansion and redevelopment of the Canberra Theatre Centre, and for upgrades to it in the short-term; $2 million for the Tuggeranong Arts Centre theatre upgrade; $960,000 for the expansion and activation of Canberra Museum and Gallery; $350,000 for HOMEFRONT 3; $246,000 to support training of theatre technicians at Canberra Theatre Centre; $200,000 for a new public art commission, where the subject and artist are female or non-binary artists; and abolishing hawker permit fees.
Mr Barr: Further questions can be placed on the notice paper.
