(a) The Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority (MRA) is committed to the Government's Per Cent For Art Scheme and will deliver a high quality public art program for Elizabeth Quay in accordance with the Elizabeth Quay Public Art Strategy and the Per Cent For Art Scheme guidelines on expenditure. Public art will also be provided by private developers in accordance with MRA's public art policy and strategy. As the total construction value of private developments in not yet known, the total value of public art cannot yet be determined.
(b) In accordance with best practice a number of artists have been selected to work with the design team in order to integrate public art into the public realm at the early stages of the project. Further public art opportunities will be advertised, in accordance with State Government procurement practices, as the project progresses.
(c) The time frame for delivery of the first public art on site will be determined after appointment of the Manager Contractor later this year.
(d) The MRA prepares public art strategies for all project areas. As with previous strategies the Elizabeth Quay Public Art Strategy was prepared by officers of the MRA with assistance from the MRA public art consultant.
(e) Copyright in public art under Australian law would in the first instance vest in the artist, however it is noted that the artworks referred to are not Australian. Copyright has not been breached in the strategy as the MRA has not reproduced the artworks. In accordance with moral rights legislation the artist has been attributed where possible throughout the strategy.
(f) Not known and not relevant to the implementation of the Elizabeth Quay Public Art Strategy.
