Objectives

The Corporation’s primary objective is to add value to the cultural life of the ACT and region by delivering high quality arts and heritage services, through professional management of its facilities.

The Corporation undertakes the management of a number of cultural assets. The operations of the Corporation are funded by a combination of user charges, payments from the Government, and revenue generated by the Corporation’s performing arts businesses and programs, and by admission fees and activities associated with museums and galleries.

1999-2000 Highlights

Strategic and operational issues to be pursued in 1999-2000 include:

  • encouraging community involvement in a wide range of arts and heritage activities;
  • developing a greater commercial focus;
  • achieving a positive balance between social benefits and financial costs;
  • providing unique cultural experiences for visitors to Canberra;
  • providing cultural leadership;
  • providing new services, in particular a $0.050m Events/Activities Program to develop the cultural focus of Civic Square; and
  • undertaking a package of measures for increasing revenue, and for cost containment, which provides for a net improvement in operating results progressively through 1999-2000, and the forward years.

Notes to the Budget Statements

Operating Statement

Significant variations are as follows:

  • user charges - ACT Government: the increase in 1999-2000 of $0.070m is due to CPI related increases ($0.106m) and funding transferred from other ACT agencies for functions previously provided free of charge ($0.067m). These increases are offset by a funding reduction resulting from accommodation rationalisation ($0.103m);
  • user charges - non ACT Government: the increase in 1999-2000 of $0.211m is a result of a range of initiatives to increase revenue. They are below budget in 1998-99, reflecting a change in the level and type of activity at the Theatre, particularly the lack of joint venture opportunities. However, this is matched by reductions in employee ($0.451m) and administrative ($1.333m) expenses, resulting in no net impact on the operating result in 1998-99; and
  • administrative expenses: the increase ($0.186m) reflects the cost of new undertakings such as developing Civic Square as a cultural precinct/focus for the Territory ($0.050m) and expected IT modernisation costs ($0.245m) offset by efficiency gains.

Statement of Financial Position

  • The significant factor impacting on the balance sheet is a transfer of capital works building expenditure related to the Canberra Museum and Gallery project within Civic Square’s North Building to the Office of Asset Management ($6.076m) in 1998-99.
