(1) There is no expectation that there will be a net change in the amount of accommodation space required for the culture and arts portfolio government agencies in the next five years unless business activities and operations change substantially.
(2) Each organisation in the culture and arts portfolio has different operational requirements. Decisions on space requirements, and how these spaces are configured, reflect the specific operational requirements of each organisation. For standard office accommodation a rate of 15m2 per person is applied.
(3) The 15 square metre rate per person reflects advice from Building Management and Works.
(4) The current provision is consistent with the per square metre rate per person
(5) The Department of Treasury and Finance, through Building Management and Works, manages the office accommodation requirements of the portfolio, including where this may be located. This excludes office accommodation in agency buildings.
(6) Rented accommodation is costed at:
$6 459 600 over the period 2009-2010 to 2012-2013.
