Hopgood Theatre

In reply to Ms HILDYARD (Reynell) (28 July 2021). (Estimates Committee A)

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

The state budget allocated funding to upgrade regional theatres that are within the accountability of Country Arts SA.

Country Arts SA manages the Hopgood Theatre on behalf of the Government of South Australia; however the buildings are not assets held by Country Arts SA. As such, Country Arts SA would raise any requests for upgrades with TAFE and they would be managed through TAFE’s existing processes.

The ongoing funding arrangements for the Hopgood Theatre are a matter for the Minister for Education.
