First, the Kingston Arts Precinct started smouldering furiously after years of no apparent activity and now is about to burst into flames. Second, two well-loved and respected Directors, Janice Falsone and Megan Hinton, were blown away from us, leaving the Board and other staff wondering, “Is it something we said?” I am proud of the way the staff and Board responded to both of these challeng- es. We engaged with the other organisations who are the proposed [forgotten word] of the Kingston Arts Precinct and with artsACT, which resulted in an initial agreement between the parties that seems satisfactory. We look forward to the detailed design process that is to follow. We advertised the Director’s position and received some very good appli- cations, including a most outstanding one from Dr Kirsten Wehner, who we appointed. Kirsten has poured her energy into the role, with substantial early signs of success. During these windy times, the staff managed to keep our programs running and displayed flexibility and durability, enabling us to achieve many things, (as re- corded elsewhere in this report), including a small financial surplus.

For the Standing Committee on Education, Training and Youth Affairs
FOR THE STANDING COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION, TRAINING AND YOUTH AFFAIRS ACT GOVERNMENT SUBMISSION TO THE STANDING COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION, TRAINING AND YOUTH AFFAIRS INQUIRY INTO THE FITTERS’ WORKSHOP Presented by Ms Joy Burch, Minister for the Arts December 2011 1 ACT Government Submission Mrs Dunne, pursuant to notice, moved—That this Assembly: (4) refers to the Standing Committee on Education, Training and Youth Affairs for inquiry and report to the Assembly by March 2012: (5) the best use of the Fitters’ Workshop, taking into account the acoustic qualities, heritage value, its location, cost and community demand of the building; Acoustic Qualities To date there has been no acoustic testing undertaken in the Fitters’ Workshop building. artsACT are able to source specifications for acoustic standards to assist the Inquiry. The recently commissioned, and highly regarded, Larry Sitsky Recital Room at the Australian National University (ANU) School of Music will provide a useful standard for comparison. Heritage Values A Heritage Conservation Management Plan (CMP) was commissioned by the former Department of Land and Property Services (now Economic Development Directorate) from Duncan Marshall, Heritage Architect. This CMP has been accepted by the ACT Heritage Council. This CMP provides a framework and guidelines for consideration in preserving the building and any future building modifications. Location The Fitters’ Workshop is a significant building within the context of the Kingston Foreshore. This is clearly articulated within the Fitters’ Workshop CMP. The Land Development Agency (LDA) currently has jurisdiction over the greater area known as Section 49. This includes the proposed Kingston Arts Precinct encompassing the Canberra Glassworks, Fitters’ Workshop and the Former Transport Depot, as well as all of the undeveloped land bordered by Wentworth Avenue, Eastlake Parade, Giles Street and Lake Burley Griffin.
