that ecosystem is really made up of the people, the programs and the networks. The facilities alone will not take us there. We need to make sure that we keep investing in the people who are making the art and we keep investing in the programs that the audiences want to see.
I am really, really keen to see how we progress, and I am also keen to make sure that we continue to see the consultation we have seen. It is always difficult in the arts sector to make sure that you are talking to everybody. The arts are not a monolith; probably no industry is, I know, even the Kingston arts precinct and the recent changes with the Geocon arrangement. We are no longer using Geocon as a developer. I think that is a good new direction, but I am very interested to hear what everybody in the sector thinks about that and exactly how that is going to affect the progress of the Kingston arts precinct and what we will see there.
But I do welcome this statement of ambition and I am particularly excited to see the details when they come out over the next year or so.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
