(a) At the time of the 2009-10 budget being presented, the final Capital Heritage and Maintenance allocation for Culture and the Arts portfolio agencies had not been completed. The increase relates to an internal reallocation to reflect the actual 2009-10 capital funding received by the Perth Theatre Trust.  The net effect within the portfolio is a nil increase in capital funding. The funding is to be used for general maintenance issues.
(b) No
(c) The budget for this project is $1.6million and will include the restoration of the façade and associated costs. The start date is May 2010 and the completion date is November 2010
