(a-e) The Perth International Arts Festival (PIAF) was contracted to present the eight day Commonwealth Festival staged in conjunction with the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting last month.
PIAF received $1.45 million from Lotterywest and $1 million specially allocated for the event by the State Government through the Department of Culture and the Arts (DCA).
The contract allows a reasonable period of time for a full acquittal which will be presented in a final report from PIAF due to DCA on 31 December 2011.
