SUPPLIES AND SERVICES

262 Mrs REDMOND (Heysen—Leader of the Opposition) (13 July 2011). With respect to 2011-12 Budget Paper 4—Volume 3, p143, Program 6—

What is the cause of an increase in 'supplies and services' of almost $1 million compared to the 2010-11 Estimated Result?

The Hon. M.D. RANN (Ramsay—Premier, Minister for Economic Development, Minister for Social Inclusion, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Sustainability and Climate Change): I advise the following:

The increase is primarily due to the provision of $750,000 in the 2011-12 budget to enable planning to be undertaken on the future redevelopment of the Adelaide Festival Centre within the broader Riverbank Precinct development. The remainder of the increase is due partly to the practice of holding the budget for breakdown and minor works activities for relevant arts organisations in the Supplies and Services line.
