(a-d) Performing Spaces is not a program, but a guide for local government authorities on how they could potentially utilise the performing arts venues and spaces in their communities. The Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries did not develop the guide and therefore the information required can only be provided by CircuitWest, which is an independent not-for-profit organisation, and developed the guide.
