HERITAGE RESTORATION WORK

269 Mrs REDMOND (Heysen—Leader of the Opposition) (13 July 2011). With respect to 2011-12 Budget Paper 4—Volume 3, p142, Program 5—

1. What is involved with 'stage one of the external restoration work'?

2. Under the performance indicators, where does the external revenue come from?

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:

Stage one of a project of external restoration work would involve painting of timberwork and heritage stone restorations for the North Terrace cultural precinct. Arts SA would traditionally partner with DTEI to deliver these works on a shared 50:50 basis.

This project forms part of an annual capital program to address the maintenance of heritage buildings. Since publication of the Budget, the capital program has been reassessed to cater for quotes received by Arts SA, and funds have been reallocated to other projects.

In 2011-12, Arts SA will partner with DTEI to deliver the final stage of external heritage restoration works at Carrick Hill.

The heritage restoration works for the North Terrace cultural precinct have been deferred to the 2012-13 capital program.

External revenue includes bequests, donations, sponsorship, admission revenue and other commercial activities.
