(a) $7,391.05 (ex GST)
(b) The total cost of the program (on-line exhibition, marketing and staging) was $37,075.07 (ex GST).
(c) Members of the public who participated in the event were chosen through a lottery. The online lottery was conducted under the guidelines set out under Section 104 of the
Gaming and Wagering Commission Act 1987
.
The random lottery winners were residents within the Legislative Assembly Electorates of Alfred Cove, Cottesloe, Forrestfield, Girrawheen, Hillarys, Jandakot, Mandurah, Mindarie, Morley, Nedlands and Perth.
A further two members of the public won tickets to the event through ABC Radio 720AM, which also ran a competition. These winners were from the electorate of Riverton.
The invited guests chosen to be part of the event were selected for their profile in their respective fields in the Western Australian community and their willingness to donate their time and promote the State Records Office through social media and other means. Invited guests were not asked which electorate they were resident in.

2007-08 - $1,810,000
2008-09 - $1,960,000
