STATISTICS WORKING GROUP Cultural Funding in Australia Three Tiers of Government 2009-10 February 2012 Prepared with the assistance of the National Centre for Culture and Recreation Statistics, Australian Bureau of Statistics Cultural Funding in Australia Three Tiers of Government 2009–10 National Centre for Culture and Recreation Statistics Australian Bureau of Statistics © 2012 Commonwealth of Australia, in conjunction with the Governments of New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Northern Territory and the Australian Capital Territory. ISSN 1838-3432 CULTURAL FUNDING IN AUSTRALIA – THREE TIERS OF GOVERNMENT 2009–10 Published by the Statistics Working Group PREFACE This publication is the sixteenth in a series of cultural funding reports produced for the Statistics Working Group (SWG) by the National Centre for Culture and Recreation Statistics (NCCRS), a section of the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). Data on cultural funding have been available since the Australia Council published a report on funding in 1988–89. The publication presents information about cultural funding by each level of government. Data have been aligned, where possible, with the categories specified in the Industry Classification of the Australian Culture and Leisure Classifications (ACLC), (cat. no. 4902.0), which was released by the ABS in 2001 and revised for 2008. The adoption of the Industry Classification of the ACLC for the report coincides with the decision by the ABS and SWG to improve the coordination and comparability of data by encouraging the use of a common set of classifications for data collection and reporting. Broad level results from the Survey of Cultural Funding by Government were released by the ABS in Cultural Funding by Government, Australia 2009-10 (cat. no. 4183.0). Whilst this publication closely aligns with the previously released ABS publication, it does contain updated state level data made available following the release of the ABS publication. Both publications include revised data for 2007–08 and 2008–09 and consequently data presented for some categories of funding may differ from those published in previous years. SWG is a joint working group comprising representatives of a number of Australian Government arts agencies and the government arts agencies of New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Northern Territory and the Australian Capital Territory. The mission of SWG is to provide the cultural statistics required for informed policy and decision-making by governments and the cultural sector in areas such as cultural industry development and management. SWG is grateful for the NCCRS' work on this report and thanks the departments and agencies which supplied data.

three tiers of government provided a total of $6,668.1m in funding for cultural activities. This comprised: $2,457.0m (37% of total) from the Australian Government; $3,013.4m (45%) from state and territory governments; and $1,197.7m (18%) from local governments. The main categories to receive Australian and state and territory government funding in 2009–10 were: Environmental heritage ($1,496.7m); Radio and television services ($1,295.8m); Other museums and cultural heritage ($667.5m); and Libraries ($414.2m). Total government funding for cultural activities increased $137.8m (2%) from 2008–09 to 2009–10. Increases occurred across all levels of government, with the Australian Government’s contribution up by $60.9m (3%), state and territory government funding up by $27.8m (1%) and local government funding up by $49.1m (4%). Overall, this increase was smaller than the increase from 2007–08 to 2008–09 of $444.9m (7%). The Australian Government continues to allocate the majority of its cultural funding to Arts activities. In 2009–10 the Australian Government allocated $1,764.0m (or 72% of its funding) to Arts activities, while Heritage activities received $693.0m (28%). The state and territory governments traditionally direct the majority of their funds towards Heritage activities. This was reflected in 2009–10 with $2,314.4m or 77% of state and territory cultural funding being allocated to Heritage activities. Across all categories, the largest recipient of state and territory funding was Environmental heritage which received $1,345.7m, accounting for almost half (45%) of all state and territory cultural funding. In 2009–10 the majority of local government cultural funding was allocated to Libraries ($759.3m or 63%). Most public libraries are funded at the local government level, except in Tasmania, the Northern Territory and the Australian Capital Territory where libraries are mainly, or solely, funded by the state and territory governments. Recurrent expenditure accounted for the majority (87%) of cultural funding in 2009–10 at $5,774.1m. The Australian Government allocated $2,218.4m (90%) to recurrent expenditure, state and territory governments allocated $2,507.1m (83%) and local governments allocated $1,048.7m (88%). Capital expenditure by all levels of government was $894.0m or 13% of total cultural funding in 2009–10. Of this amount, the Australian Government expenditure was $238.6m, the state and territory governments outlaid $506.3m and local governments spent $149.0m. CULTURAL FUNDING IN AUSTRALIA ….…. 9 SECTION 2 GOVERNMENT FUNDING OF CULTURE – AN OVERVIEW Together, the three tiers of government provided $6,668.1m in funding for cultural activities in 2009–10. This was an increase of 2% ($137.8m) from 2008–09. AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT FUNDING In 2009–10, the Australian Government provided $2,457.0m (37%) of total government cultural funding, increasing from $2,396.2m in 2008–09. The Australian Government directed the majority of its funding ($1406.3m) to Broadcasting, film and multimedia in 2009–10. This represented over half (57%) of all Australian Government cultural funding and over three-quarters (80%) of Australian Government Arts funding. Within the Broadcasting, film and multimedia category, almost all funding ($1,295.0m) was allocated to Radio and television services. Looking at the Heritage division, funding decreased by 8% ($59.6m) from $752.6m in 2008–09 to $693.0m in 2009–10. The largest amount ($295.7m or 43%) was expended on Other museums and cultural heritage. Libraries experienced the largest percentage increase in Heritage funding from the Australian Government, up 11% ($6.4m) from 2008–09 to$66.6m in 2009–10. STATE AND TERRITORY GOVERNMENT FUNDING State and territory governments contributed $3,013.4m (45%) of total government cultural funding in 2009– 10. This was an increase of $27.8m (1%) on 2008–09. Cultural funding by individual state and territory governments generally reflected population size, with the more highly populated states of New South Wales ($751.8m), Queensland ($652.8m), Victoria ($549.6m) and Western Australia ($510.9m) contributing greater amounts in 2009–10 than South Australia ($269.9m), the Australian Capital Territory ($95.3m), Tasmania ($93.8m) and the Northern Territory ($89.3m). Funding distribution by the states and territories differs from that of the Australian Government, with state and territory governments allocating substantial amounts to funding Heritage activities. Heritage activities received $2,314.4m or 77% of total state and territory cultural funding in 2009–10. Proportionally, the Heritage categories of Environmental heritage (45% or $1,345.7m), Other museums and cultural heritage (12% or $371.8m) and Libraries (12% or $347.6m) received the largest share of all state and territory cultural funding. Arts categories received 23% or $699.0m of state and territory government cultural funding. The largest allocation of Arts funding went to Performing arts venues, accounting for $214.1m or 7% of state and territory government cultural funding. LOCAL GOVERNMENT FUNDING Estimates for Heritage and Arts cultural funding by local governments were obtained via the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Local Government Finance Statistics collection. In 2009–10 local governments provided $1,197.7m in funding for Heritage and Arts which was an increase of 4% on 2008–09 from $1,148.6m. Local government cultural funding in 2008–09 was 11% higher than in 2007–08 when the level of funding was $1,038.7m. The level of local government funding by state and territory generally reflected population size. For instance, in 2009– 10 the highest value of local government cultural funding was found in the most populous state, New South Wales, at$391.1m while the smallest amount was in the Northern Territory ($4.8m) which has SECTION 2 GOVERNMENT FUNDING OF CULTURE – AN OVERVIEW the smallest population base.

Over the same time period, cultural funding for recurrent activities increased 1% for the combined three levels of government. In general capital funding fluctuates more than recurrent funding due to its project based nature. RECURRENT AND CAPITAL FUNDING In 2009–10, recurrent funding (i.e. funding for operations, wages and salaries, purchases of goods and services, and current grants and subsidies) was $5,774.1m or 87% of total cultural funding. Recurrent funding as a proportion of total cultural funding remains at a similar level to previous years: 88% in 2008–09 and 87% in 2007–08. The state and territory governments allocated $2,507.1m to recurrent funding in 2009-10. In dollar terms this was the largest amount of the three levels of government although it represented only 83% of total 1 2 Data for 2007–08 and 2008–09 have been revised (see paragraph 13 of the Explanatory Notes).

CULTURAL FUNDING IN AUSTRALIA ….…. 11 SECTION 2 GOVERNMENT FUNDING OF CULTURE – AN OVERVIEW cultural funding by state and territory governments. In contrast, the Australian Government allocated the highest proportion of its cultural funding to recurrent activities (90% or $2,218.4m), followed by local governments (88% or $1,048.7m). Capital funding (i.e. funding for the creation of fixed assets and the acquisition of land, buildings and intangible assets) by all levels of government was $894.0m or 13% of total cultural funding in 2009–10. The majority of government capital funding came from the state and territory governments at $506.3m (57% of total capital funding) while the Australian Government outlaid $238.6m and local governments spent $149.0m in 2009–10 (27% and 17% of total capital funding respectively). 1 RECURRENT AND CAPITAL FUNDING, By level of government – 2009–10 Source: ABS data available on request, Cultural Funding by Government, 2009–10 FUNDING PER PERSON In 2009–10, cultural funding by all three tiers of government averaged $301.02 per person in Australia. This funding per person was a similar amount to the $300.51 in 2008–09 but an increase on the $286.19 per person in 2007–08. Australian Government cultural funding rose from $106.58 per person in 2007–08 to $110.27 per person in 2008–09. In 2009–10 per person funding remained steady at $110.92. Of the amount for 2009–10, $31.29 per person was for Heritage and $79.63 per person was for Arts. State and territory government cultural funding was $136.03 per person in 2009–10, comprising $104.48 per person for Heritage and $31.55 per person for Arts. This was a decrease from 2008–09 per person funding of $137.39. In 2007–08 state and territory governments cultural funding equated to $130.77 per person.

This allows for division into Heritage and Arts with a further detailed division into nineteen major categories. Descriptions of these categories are provided in the Appendix of this report. HERITAGE The Heritage division mainly covers sites and collections which represent the natural or cultural environment of Australia. These sites and collections generally have historic, aesthetic, scientific, environmental or social significance. In 2009–10 the Australian Government directed $693.0m (28%) of its total cultural funding to Heritage. This was an 8% decrease from 2008–09 when $752.6m (31%) was directed to Heritage. The decrease from 2008–09 was the result of reduced funding allocations to Environmental heritage, Archives and Art museums. Other museums and cultural heritage received the most Heritage funding from the Australian Government ($295.7m). Funding for Other museums and cultural heritage and Art museums (which was $90.1m) goes to institutions such as the National Museum of Australia, the Australian National Maritime Museum and the National Gallery of Australia. Environmental heritage received $151.0m, which was the second largest amount of Heritage funding by the Australian Government. Another major recipient of Heritage funding in 2009–10 was Art museums receiving $90.1m. This was a decrease of $1.4m (2%) from 2008–09. Archives was allocated $89.6m in 2009–10, a drop of $15.8m (15%) from 2008–09. By contrast Libraries experienced an 11% increase in funding from $60.2m in 2008–09 to $66.6m in 2009–10. It is important to note that this category does not include funding for special libraries (e.g. parliamentary libraries) or libraries in educational institutions such as schools and universities. ARTS The Arts division mainly covers facilities and services relating to Literature and print media, Music and performing arts, Visual arts and crafts, Design, Radio and television, Film and video, Multimedia and Other arts. The majority of Australian Government funding (72% or $1,764.0m) was allocated to the Arts in 2009– 10. This was an increase of $120.5m (7%) from 2008–09. Radio and television services received the majority of Australian Government funding in 2009–10 ($1,295.0m). Together with Film and video production and distribution ($108.0m) and Multimedia ($3.3m), funding to the collective category of Broadcasting, film and multimedia comprised 80% of Australian Government Arts funding. This was similar to 2008–09 where these categories comprised 78% of funding, receiving $1,163.3m for Radio and television services, $115.7m for Film and video production and distribution and $6.8m for Multimedia. Recipients of funding in the collective Broadcasting, film and multimedia category include the Australian Broadcasting Commission (ABC), Special Broadcasting Service (SBS) and the Australian Film Commission. The next largest recipients of Arts cultural funding from the Australian Government in 2009–10 were the Performing arts ($149.9m) and Other arts ($139.7m). The collective category of Performing arts comprises Music performance ($64.6m), Drama ($29.2m), Dance ($17.3m), Music theatre and opera ($21.7m) and Other performing arts ($17.2m). The Other arts category captures funding for the administration, maintenance, operation, construction, etc. of cultural activities and services not able to be assigned to a SECTION 3 CULTURAL FUNDING BY AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT specific cultural category. 2 FUNDING FOR SELECTED HERITAGE AND ARTS CATEGORIES, By Australian Government – 2009–10 Source: Cultural Funding by Government, Australia, 2009–10 (cat. no. 4183.0) RECURRENT AND CAPITAL FUNDING In 2009–10 Australian Government recurrent funding was $2,218.4m (90% of total Australian Government funding). This was similar to the level of recurrent funding provided in 2008–09; $2,203.1m or 92% of Australian Government funding. Recurrent Arts funding represented $1,651.5m (74%) of Australian Government recurrent funding and recurrent Heritage funding accounted for $566.9m (26%). Categories with the highest recurrent funding matched the categories with the highest overall funding. For Arts this was Radio and television services ($1,189.6m), Other arts ($132.9m) and Film and video production and distribution ($107.9m). For Heritage, this was Other museums and cultural heritage ($236.6m) and Environmental heritage ($136.7m). Capital funding in 2009–10 by the Australian Government accounted for 10% ($238.6m) of cultural funding. This was an increase from 2008–09 when capital funding was 8% ($193.0m) of cultural funding. Although the majority of Australian Government funding is directed to Arts, the majority of Australian Government capital funding was directed to Heritage activities ($126.2m or 53%) in 2009–10. This was a proportional decrease from 2008–09 where 60% ($116.7m) of capital funding was directed to Heritage. The single largest recipient of capital funding in 2009-10 was Radio and television services ($105.4m).

This was an increase of $27.8m from 2008– 09, made up of a $53.0m increase in Heritage and a $25.2m decrease in Arts. 3 TOTAL CULTURAL FUNDING, By state and territory governments9– 2009–10 Source: ABS data available on request, Cultural Funding by Government, 2009–10 Throughout this report, it is important to note that different administrative arrangements and responsibilities exist in each of the states and territories and this influences the distribution of cultural funding to the various Arts and Heritage categories. Care should therefore be taken when comparing values between states and territories for some categories. For further information see paragraph 14 of the Explanatory Notes. Individual state and territory government cultural funding closely reflected population size, with the more populous states of New South Wales ($751.8m), Queensland ($652.8m), Victoria ($549.6m) and Western Australia ($510.9m) contributing greater funding in 2009–10 than South Australia ($269.9m), the Australian Capital Territory ($95.3m), Tasmania ($93.8m) and the Northern Territory ($89.3m). HERITAGE Heritage division activities received the majority of state and territory government cultural funding ($2,314.4m or 77%) in 2009–10. This was an increase of $53.0m from 2008–09. This increase was the result of greater funding provided to Other museums and cultural heritage (up $27.0m), Libraries (up $15.8m), Art museums (up $14.2m) and Archives (up $8.8m). These increases were offset by a reduction in Environmental heritage funding of $12.7m. In the previous year Environmental heritage had received the largest funding increase with $53.5m more in 2008–-09 than in 2007–08. Environmental heritage received the largest allocation ($1,345.7m or 45%) of total state and territory government cultural funding in 2009–10. These funds were provided to assist the operation of sites, collections and areas such as national parks, flora and fauna reserves, zoological parks, aquaria and botanic gardens. All state and territory governments directed more funding to Environmental heritage than any 9 Care should be taken when comparing categories between states and territories (see paragraph 12 and 14 of the Explanatory Notes). SECTION 4 CULTURAL FUNDING BY ALL STATE AND TERRITORY GOVERNMENTS other cultural funding category. Western Australian, Northern Territory and New South Wales Governments allocated over half of their cultural funding to this activity, at 58%, 55% and 51% respectively. The next largest recipients of Heritage cultural funding from state and territory government in 2009–10 were Other museums and cultural heritage ($371.8m), Libraries ($347.6m) and Art museums ($187.1m). The New South Wales Government was the largest contributor to Other museums and cultural heritage, providing 33% of total funding to this category ($122.6m). Victoria was the next highest contributor with $82.5m. In dollar terms, Victoria provided the most funding to Libraries with $85.9m, followed by New South Wales ($77.6m) and Queensland ($67.1m). Of all states and territories, Tasmania allocated the largest proportion of its total funding (22%) to Libraries. This reflects the fact that libraries are mainly or solely funded by the Tasmanian Government whereas in other states, local governments also contribute significantly to the funding of libraries. 4 HERITAGE FUNDING, By state and territory governments – 2009–10 Source: ABS data available on request, Cultural Funding by Government, 2009–10 ARTS The Arts received $699.0m (23%) of total state and territory government cultural funding in 2009–10. This was a reduction of $25.2m from 2008–09. This reduction was largely the result of a decrease in funding to Performing arts venues of $44.6m offset by a $16.8m increase in funding to the group of categories collectively known as Performing arts and a $12.5m increase in funding to the Other arts category. This contrasts with the previous year where there was an increase in Arts funding of $116.8m from 2007–08 to 2008–09, with the largest category increase being for Performing arts venues ($60.9m).

Performing arts venues received the highest amount of state and territory Arts funding ($214.1m) with the Western Australian Government providing more than a quarter of funding in this category ($58.8m or 27%) and the Queensland Government contributing close to a quarter ($51.0m or 24%). Other arts, and Film and video production and distribution were also major recipients of Arts funding, receiving $141.9m and $108.4m respectively. The Victorian Government contributed 42% ($45.3m) of funding to Film and video production and distribution.

Recurrent funding includes funding for operations, wages and salaries, purchases of goods and services, and current grants and subsidies. The proportion of recurrent funding to total cultural funding was similar (85%) in 2008–09 and the same (83%) in 2007–08.

This is reflective of increased capital funding to Performing arts venues for each of these jurisdictions, with funding up $4.0m (11%) in Western Australia and $1.3m (74%) in the Australian Capital Territory from 2008–09. FUNDING PER PERSON State and territory government cultural funding was $136.03 per person in 2009–10. This was a decrease from $137.39 per person in 2008–09 but an increase on 2007–08 ($130.77). Cultural funding per person increased slightly for Heritage (from $104.06 to $104.48) but dropped for Arts (from $33.33 to $31.55) from 2008–09 to 2009–10. Total cultural funding by individual state and territory governments generally reflects population size with the more highly populated states contributing the greatest amounts of funding.

The higher cultural funding per person by the Northern Territory, Australian Capital Territory and Tasmania is partly a consequence of their population size and also because unlike the other states, their government, rather than local government, has responsibility for public library funding.

Cultural funding levels generally reflect the size of the population, with the highly populated states allocating most funding to cultural activities. In 2009–10, local government authorities in New South Wales allocated $391.1m to cultural activities, followed by Victoria with $320.2m and then Queensland with $221.8m. The cultural funding by local government in these states combined represented 78% of total local government cultural funding. Caution should be exercised when comparing local government funding between the states and territories due to their different administrative arrangements and responsibilities.

As a result, the value of capital expenditure may be less than zero. 40 Data for 2008-09 have been revised (see paragraph 13 of the Explanatory Notes). 41 Care should be taken when comparing categories between states and territories (see paragraph 12 and 14 of the Explanatory Notes). CULTURAL FUNDING IN AUSTRALIA ….…. 40 SECTION 6 CULTURAL FUNDING BY STATE AND TERRITORY GOVERNMENTS OVER TIME The following section presents tables and analyses for individual states and territories for the financial years 2007–08, 2008–09 and 2009–10. The Cultural Funding by Government collection methodology changed significantly for the 2007–08 collection and as a consequence these data are not comparable with data prior to 2007–08. It is important to note that different administrative arrangements and responsibilities exist in each of the states and territories and this influences the distribution of cultural funding to Arts and Heritage categories. For further information, see paragraph 14 of the Explanatory Notes. Fluctuations in funding are also to be expected. Recurrent funding may vary due to one-off allocations for particular organizations and projects while funding for capital projects may extend over several years. According to the level of activity, differing amounts may be expended on a yearly basis. Therefore caution should be exercised in any comparisons of funding between states and territories. SECTION 6 CULTURAL FUNDING BY STATE AND TERRITORY GOVERNMENTS OVER TIME ….…. NEW SOUTH WALES The New South Wales Government provided $751.8m or 25% of total state and territory government cultural funding in 2009–10. This was an increase of $38.6m (5%) compared with $713.2m in 2008–09. In 2009–10, the majority of New South Wales Government cultural funding was recurrent funding ($618.5m or 82%) with the remaining $133.2m (18%) being capital funding. The value of funding per person in New South Wales in 2009–10 was $104.64. In 2009–10, funding for Heritage activities in New South Wales was $641.8m, up $52.6m (9%) from $589.2m in 2008– 09. This overall increase in Heritage funding included a rise in Environmental heritage funding of $25.7m (7%) to $383.7m in 2009–10. Art museums recorded the second largest Heritage funding increase for New South Wales increasing 48% to $50.4m compared with $34.0m in 2008–09. 25 NEW SOUTH WALES GOVERNMENT, Heritage funding – 2007–08, 2008–09 and 2009–10 Source: ABS data available on request, Cultural Funding by Government, 2009–10 In 2009–10 funding for Arts activities in New South Wales decreased by $14.0m (11%) to $110.0m. This fall was largely attributable to a $14.2m (52%) drop in funding for Other arts from $27.1m in 2008–09 to $13.0m in 2009–10 and a $4.3m drop in total funding to Visual arts and crafts from $8.1m in 2008–09 to $3.8m in 2009–10.

VICTORIA The Victorian Government provided $549.6m towards cultural funding in 2009–10, down $61.3m (10%) on the $610.9m it contributed in 2008–09. Of the 2009–10 allocation, $456.6m (83%) was for recurrent funding and $93.0m (17%) was for capital funding. The value of funding per person in Victoria was $99.92 in 2009– 10. The Victorian Government provided $377.5m in funding for Heritage activities in 2009–10, a drop of $54.0m (13%) from $431.5m provided for Heritage in 2008–09. Victoria’s drop in Heritage funding was largely attributable to a decrease in funding for Environmental heritage of $73.9m (36%) to $133.4m in 2009–10. All other Heritage categories had a funding increase, the largest being Other museums and cultural heritage with an increase of $8.2m (11%) to $82.5m in 2009–10 and Archives with an increase of $6.0m (39%) to $21.4m in 2009–10. 27 VICTORIAN GOVERNMENT, Heritage funding – 2007–08, 2008–09 and 2009–10 Source: ABS data available on request, Cultural Funding by Government, 2009–10 Arts funding in Victoria was $172.1m in 2009–10, a decrease of $7.3m (4%) from 2008–09 ($179.4m).

CULTURAL FUNDING IN AUSTRALIA ….…. 63 EXPLANATORY NOTES INTRODUCTION 1 This publication contains estimates of Australian public funding for Arts and cultural activities, facilities and services for the Australian Government, state and territory governments and local governments 2 COLLECTION, SCOPE AND COVERAGE 3 Statistics for the Australian Government and state and territory governments were collected through the survey of Cultural Funding by Government. Information was collected on the amount of recurrent and capital expenditure by Australian and state government departments (including selected authorities, corporations and councils) for Heritage and Arts cultural activities, facilities and services. Funding from other sources, such as donations, membership costs or entrance fees, has been excluded. 4 Agencies classified by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) as public trading enterprises (e.g. most Performing arts venues) are not included in this collection, except to the extent of any subsidies (or capital funding) paid to them from government budgets. 5 Funding by government for major institutions which specialise in education of a cultural nature, such as the National Academy of Music, the National Institute of Dramatic Art, the Australian Ballet School and the Australian Film, Television and Radio School has been included. Funding for special libraries (e.g. parliamentary libraries), libraries in higher education institutions and schools is excluded. 6 In order to ensure that funds are not counted more than once in the whole of government sector, specific purpose grants received from other levels of government have been netted out of the expenditure for the receiving government. CLASSIFICATION 7 Categories used in this publication have been aligned, where possible, with the Industry Classification from the Australian Culture and Leisure Classifications, 2008 (Second Edition) (cat. no. 4902.0) SOURCES AND METHODS Australian Government 8 The Australian Government refers to the federal (national) level of government and was previously referred to as the Commonwealth Government. This change of name was in response to an Australian Government initiative in 2004. 9 Australian Government estimates have been compiled using information provided directly to the ABS by government departments. EXPLANATORY NOTES State and territory governments 10 State and territory government information was obtained from a range of sources. Departments supplied details of their recurrent and capital expenditure on Arts and culture. In addition, a number of agencies and authorities were directly contacted for information upon advice from their respective departments. Local government 11 Funding of Arts and cultural activities by local government are included as part of the Local Government Finance Statistics collection undertaken by the ABS. From 2007–08, local government data has been classified according to the Local Government Purpose Classification (LGPC). Previously, these data were based on the Government Purpose Classification (GPC) and were available in less detail. 12 Local government estimates should be interpreted with caution as the co- ordination of data undertaken by the ABS does not currently permit detailed data checks at the level of output used within this report, meaning that some large variations in funding from year to year could not be validated with individual councils. Data are therefore a reflection of the current reporting by councils through the Local Government Grants Commissions, or equivalent in each state or territory. 13 While the local government data in this publication are classified according to the LGPC, not all states and territories have fully adopted the classification in terms of their reporting arrangements. For example, in New South Wales, ‘Cultural or arts services nec’ (LGPC 0829) includes Performing Arts (LGPC 0826 and 0827). For Victoria, 'Cultural or arts services nec' (LGPC 0829) includes data relating to Art museums, Other museums and cultural heritage, Performing arts venues and Culture or arts services not elsewhere classified. For the Northern Territory, ‘Cultural or arts services nec’ (LGPC 0829) includes data relating to Art museums, Other museums and cultural heritage, Performing arts venues, Cultural and arts services nec, in addition to library data for five councils with responsibility for their own public libraries. REVISIONS 14 During the course of the 2009–10 collection, some government departments provided revised expenditure estimates for 2007–08 and/or 2008–09. These data revisions have been included in this release. STATE COMPARISONS 15 Care should be taken when comparing values between states and territories for some categories of funding as the funding provided by state and territory governments may vary according to the administrative arrangements existing in the respective states and territories. For example, in Queensland, nature parks and botanic gardens (part of Environmental heritage) are funded by local governments, whereas they are funded at the state and territory level elsewhere. In some states and territories, there is a shared services arrangement for human resources, finance and information technology and centralised administration costs for the state’s cultural institutions. Funding for these services is incorporated in the Other arts category, whereas in other states and territories these costs are largely devolved to the major institutions. The Tasmanian, Northern Territory and Australian Capital Territory Governments have main or sole responsibility for library funding in their jurisdictions, whereas public libraries are funded at the local government level in other states. The Australian Capital Territory Government undertakes many local government functions, in addition to its territory government responsibilities. CULTURAL FUNDING IN AUSTRALIA ….…. 65 EXPLANATORY NOTES CALCULATION OF PER PERSON FUNDING 16 Estimates of the resident population of Australia and the states and territories at the mid-point (December quarter) of each collection year are used to calculate per person funding. Population estimates have been obtained from Australian Demographic Statistics, Dec 2010 (cat. no. 3101.0). 17 To maintain consistency between levels of government, the same resident population estimates are used for all estimates of per person funding, regardless of the level of government under consideration. COMPARISON WITH PREVIOUS SURVEY RESULTS 18 It should be noted that changes in the collection methodology and improvements to the scope and coverage occurred in 2007–08, therefore Australian and state and territory government funding data prior to and including 2006–07 are not comparable with more recent data. 19 Local government data were classified according to the Local Government Purpose Classification (LGPC) for the first time in 2007–08. Previously data were based on the Government Purpose Classification (GPC) and were available in less detail. Comparable local government data for 2006–07 were presented in the 2007–08 publication release.

Recurrent expenditure Recurrent expenditure refers to expenditure on goods and services and transfer payments (e.g. grants and subsidies) which do not involve the creation of fixed assets or the acquisition of land, buildings and intangible assets. It consists mainly of wages and salaries, purchases of goods and services and current grants and subsidies. APPENDIX – FUNDING CLASSIFICATION The funding classification used in this report was based on the Industry Classification of the Australian Culture and Leisure Classifications, 2008, (Second Edition) (cat. no. 4902.0) (ACLC). The ACLC were developed as part of the Australian Bureau of Statistics' commitment to promote a more unified body of culture and leisure information. They were developed with the aim of improving the coordination and comparability between the various existing data collections. The ACLC are intended for use in the collection and dissemination of statistics about culture and leisure by the ABS and the wider research community. The ACLC comprise three separate classifications: the Industry Classification; the Product Classification; and the Occupation Classification. These classifications focus on the economic side of culture and leisure activities – the way culture and leisure activities are linked to the economy through direct expenditure and employment. The ACLC definitions of the divisions 'Heritage' and 'Arts' in the Industry Classification are shown below. HERITAGE This division consists of units mainly engaged in the management of sites and collections which represent the natural or cultural environment of Australia and the rest of the world. The sites and collections have historic, aesthetic, scientific, environmental or social significance. 'Significance' may be of relevance on an international, national or sub- national basis (i.e. state/territory, local region or community). This division also includes the retailing and restoration of antiques and collectibles.
