Answers to Questions

REGIONAL ARTS NATIONAL CONFERENCE

265 Mrs REDMOND (Heysen—Leader of the Opposition) (13 July 2011). With respect to 2011-12 Budget Paper 6, p60—

How often does South Australia host the Regional Arts Conference, what does this funding go towards and is there a private or NGO co-contribution and if so, how much?

The Hon. J.D. HILL (Kaurna—Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Southern Suburbs, Minister Assisting the Premier in the Arts): I am advised:

1. The Regional Arts Australia National Conference is a biennial event, which attracts about 1000 participants and is held in a different State or Territory on a rotating basis

South Australia's turn to host this major national event occurs approximately once every 14 years.

2. The State Government's total contribution of $400,000 ($200,000 per annum in both 2011-12 and 2012-13) will go towards the planning and delivery—by Country Arts SA, under a memorandum of understanding with Regional Arts Australia—of a national conference in 2012 of leading thinkers, practitioners, artists and arts workers. This will be held in Goolwa.

3. Approximately $200,000 will be provided by the Australian Government through Regional Arts Australia and $50,000 by the Alexandrina Council, and approximately $500,000 will be raised from delegate fees and sponsors.
