ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS

CHIEF MINISTER FOR THE AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

Question No 169

Canberra Map

MR DE DOMENICO - Asked the Chief Minister upon notice on 21 May 1992:

In relation to the Tourism Commissions Canberra map

(1) (a) who printed it; (b) where was it printed; (c) how many were printed and (d) how much did it cost.

(2) (a) who designed it; (b) where was it designed and (c) how much did it cost.

(3) (a) what other companies were involved in its production; (b) where do they operate from and (c) how much was paid to them.

MS FOLLETT- - The answer to the Members question is as follows:

(l)-(3) The map was a joint project between the ACT Tourism Commission and Vickers Caley Publications.

Under the arrangement Vickers Caley produce the map at their expense and derive income from any advertising they are able to sell. The total cost of production is therefore not known to the Government.

The Tourism Commission provided a tourist drives description for the map at a cost of $5,300 and also purchased an advertisement at a cost of $3,000. The Commission is responsible for distribution of the map through its normal outlets.

A total of 250,000 copies of the map were designed and printed by Vickers Caley in Sydney. Other companies understood to be involved in production were Renaissance Advertising and Marketing (owned by Vickers Caley) and Hannan Print, both of which operate from Sydney.

Prior to the agreement with Vickers Caley, the Tourism Commission paid the NRMA an annual fee of $50,000 to assist in the production of the NRMA Canberra map. The Commission has therefore saved some $41,700 by entering into an arrangement which has also proved attractive to tourism authorities in other cities.
