With reference to comments made by the Minister, as reported by
The West Australian
on 8 October 2010, which state that the main theatre and 200-seat studio within the State Theatre Centre were 91 per cent booked for next year by a range of local, national and international companies, I ask:
(a) could the Minister please table all confirmed bookings for the Studio Theatre and the Heath Ledger Theatre within the State Theatre Centre for 2011; and
(b) could the Minister please provide exact booking times and information on paid bookings during 2011 for both theatres and rehearsal studios between 7:00 a.m. and midnight each day during 2011?

(a) No. The 91% booked comment includes confirmed and pencil bookings for the Heath Ledger Theatre and the Studio underground.
It is not appropriate to release this information publically since it is the hirers who determine when they wish to publicise their programs.
(b) No. See above. For information, most hirers of the venue book at a daily or weekly rate. The exact booking times are negotiated between the production company and the venue manager close to the time of production.
