AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) An amount of $7.5 million has been provided in the 2003-04 budget for the relocation of the Museum. (2) No. The available funds are as specified in the budget papers. (3) Yes. (4) The failure of the previous Government to deal with the inadequacy of the Francis Street building as a result of occupational health and safety issues, building limitations and the expansion of the Western Australian Museum on the Perth site has meant the Gallop Government has been faced with an immediate short-term problem of dealing with the Francis Street building. In addressing the immediate needs of the Western Australian Museum, the Government recognises the importance of the Museum to our society and acknowledges the need to develop a long-term plan for the Museum. In doing this, the Minister for Culture and the Arts established a ministerial steering committee to consider the future of the Francis Street building. The work of the ministerial steering committee will be informed by the work currently being undertaken by a number of planning committees involving all relevant stakeholders, including the Department of Culture and the Arts. These committees will be developing a plan which will be cognisant of all planning relating to Perth, including the Perth Cultural Centre and the southern rail project. In the interim, the ministerial steering committee is addressing the priority to relocate the functions currently being undertaken in the Francis Street building.
