Arts—Cultural Facilities Corporation

Mr Smyth asked the Minister for the Arts, upon notice, on 31 October 2013:

(1) Further to Output Class 1.1: Cultural Facilities Corporation in Budget Paper 4, page 490, will the Minister provide a breakdown of supporting programs and initiatives for the output, including (a) the value of funding for each program/initiative, (b) dates of commencement and completion (or ongoing) for each program/initiative and (c) performance measures for each program/initiative.

(2) What are the staff numbers and corresponding employment levels for each output.

(3) Will the Minister provide a list of capital works and upgrades for each of the listed outputs and, where applicable, include (a) commencement and completion dates and (b) the budgeted and actual costs of the projects.

(4) Have identified savings been identified within these outputs; if so, will the Minister provide (a) a list of identified savings, (b) the value of identified savings, (c) program/initiative impacts as a result of these savings and (d) staffing impacts as a result of these savings.

Ms Burch: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

The ACT Government prepares its budget on an outputs basis. Data at that level is published in the Budget Papers, along with budgeted financial statements for agencies. More detailed information on activities within outputs is available in annual reports. This includes audited financial statements. Data is not available in the form and at the level requested without diversion of significant resources from the Cultural Facilities Corporation’s ongoing business that I am not prepared to authorise.
