I
refer to the Minister’s announcement of a $250,000 allocation from the
Contemporary Music Fund to help the renovation of the Fremantle Artillery Hall,
and ask: (a) Is
the grant a single tranche or are funds allocated over a number of years: (i) If
it is a number of years then how many and what is the funding allocation for
each year; (b) The
maximum grant listed on the Contemporary Music Fund application website and in
your Media Statement on 13 June 2019 is $60,000, so how did the Fremantle
Artillery Hall qualify for a $250,000 grant; (c) Was
the grant made to the National Trust: (i) If
yes, when did the National Trust lodge its funding application; (d) Did
the $250,000 grant come from the $1 million music fund grants program or the $2
million for targeted initiatives; and (e) Of
the $2 million for targeted initiatives what is the breakdown of funding
available for each of the years 2018-19, 2019-20 and 2020-21?
