Has someone been hired to provide this expert and specialist advice, if so, who and for how long is their contract. If not, why not and when will you hire the person to provide this expert advice;

When do you expect to use this advice to develop a contemporary glass centre.

Mr Wood

: The answer to the member's question is as follows:

The Business Case for the Glass Centre has been completed.

The "Kingston Powerhouse option"is included in the Business Case, which the Government will consider soon.

The decision on proceeding will be made in the context of the 2004-05 Budget process.

The $2.842 million remains in the Arts budget and is allocated for the Glass Centre.

No expenditure has been made against this item.

No-one has been hired at this stage. Contractors will be hired when there is a Government decision to progress to the next stage of the project.

It is expected that the specialist advice will be used in the period leading up to the opening of the facility.
