NSW Creative Industry:  Economic Fundamentals

The Rees Government will this year deliver arts funding of more than $285 million to ensure NSW remains Australia’s premier state for arts and culture.

A new fund, the NSW Community Building Partnership, was announced in the NSW Budget on Tuesday 16 June 2009.

This new $35 million fund will support local jobs and deliver community infrastructure across New South Wales. Up to $300,000 will be available for each of the 93 NSW electoral districts - with a further $100,000 available to be invested in districts with higher unemployment.

Museums and Galleries NSW (M&GNSW) has been in operation since 1999. As a peak organisation, the role of M&GNSW has been to develop, maintain and support the gallery and museum sector throughout NSW, particularly regional NSW.
