Aboriginal Art and Cultures Gallery

1341 The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee) (11 September 2019). How much funding is to be provided by the commonwealth for the Aboriginal Art and Cultures Gallery?

(a) In the event the cost of the Aboriginal Art and Cultures Gallery exceeds $150 million, does the agreement require the commonwealth to meet any additional costs?

(b) How will any costs above $150 million be funded?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier): I have been advised:

Under the Adelaide City Deal, the commonwealth has committed $85 million towards the development of the Aboriginal Art and Cultures Gallery. Under the City Deal, there is no requirement for the commonwealth to meet any additional costs.

A scoping study is currently being undertaken for the gallery, to develop a clear vision and recommendations following extensive consultation with key stakeholders and aboriginal communities. Once this process has concluded, the form, function and costs associated with new cultural facility can be further determined.
