Cultural Institutions Storage Facility

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER (Morialta—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (15:01): My question is to the Minister for the Arts. Has the government reduced the scope for the Cultural Institutions Storage Facility for the South Australian Museum, the Art Gallery and the State History Collection? With leave, sir, I would like to explain.

Leave granted.

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER: In estimates, the minister confirmed the facility was due for completion in June 2024 and, in reply to a question on notice, the minister confirmed the $91 million budget was in place. This facility is tremendously important for the protection of priceless artefacts, a collection worth over a billion dollars, noting that priceless and irreplaceable artefacts from the Aboriginal collection have previously been damaged in burglary and weather events due to the inadequate current rented facilities.

The Hon. A. MICHAELS (Enfield—Minister for Small and Family Business, Minister for Consumer and Business Affairs, Minister for Arts) (15:02): I thank the shadow minister for the question. There is some work being done at the moment on cost escalations that we are looking at at the moment. I have no update to give, but I will come back to the member with an answer to that when we finalise the plans.
