The AlintaGas Board in 1996 endorsed a policy to purchase appropriate works of art for use in the company's offices. The works of art would predominantly be by Western Australian artists and where possible reflect its business, scope of operations, areas which it services or articles created using its products or services. From 1 July 2000 virtually all the assets of the Gas Corporation were transferred to the AlintaGas Limited group pursuant to a Ministerial Transfer Order under the Gas Corporation (Business Disposal) Act 1999. This transfer included works of art. With the privatisation of AlintaGas through the Cornerstone-IPO process the works of art will remain the property of the AlintaGas Limited group.
