RICHARD LLEWELLYN ARTS AND DISABILITY TRUST

266 Mrs REDMOND (Heysen—Leader of the Opposition) (13 July 2011). With respect to 2011-12 Budget Paper 6, p61—

What are the details of the Richard Llewellyn Arts and Disability Trust and is there a private or NGO co-contribution and if so, how much?

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:

The Richard Llewellyn Arts and Disability Trust was established in 2006 as a partnership between the Department for Families and Communities, through the Office for Disability and Client Services, and the Department of the Premier and Cabinet, through Arts SA, with an original allocation of $1,000,000.

In the 2011-12 State Budget, I announced an ongoing commitment of $300,000 per annum to continue this program. This will see the program move from the current Trust structure to an on-going Arts SA funding program.

To date, all funds contributed to the Richard Llewellyn Arts and Disability Trust have been Government monies.

In 2009, the Board of the Richard Llewellyn Arts and Disability Trust set up the Richard Llewellyn Arts and Disability Trust Community Foundation to secure tax deductable donations, and this fund has received $11,500 in donations from individuals since it was established.

No other funds have been used to support this program.
