I refer to the answer to Question on Notice No 3442 (1)(c), and ask did funding for the upgrade of the orchestra pit at His Majesty’s Theatre come from the $32.6 million in WA Museum budget savings?

The $32.4m saving to the Capital budget has not been re-allocated within the Culture and the Arts portfolio.
The State Budget papers separately identified items under the Asset Investment Program including $4 million to upgrade His Majesty’s Theatre Orchestra Pit Lift and $2.5 million for His Majesty’s Theatre front of house improvements.
