In reply to the Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (15 May 2019).

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer): I have been advised:

The former government committed $2 million over three years (2017-18 to 2019-20) to establish the South Australian Game Development Fund (the fund).

Of the $2 million, $450,000 has been committed to the establishment of the Games Plus co-working space located in Pirie Street. The balance of the fund of $1.55 million was transferred to the Research, Commercialisation and Startup Fund which is available to all South Australian entrepreneurs and innovators.

The Minister for Innovation and Skills has also advised that additional support is being provided through Skilling South Australia as per publicly available media.
