Mount Gambier Fringe Festival

In reply to Mr BELL (Mount Gambier) (17 October 2018).

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier): I have been advised:

Arts South Australia will provide Country Arts SA with an additional $10,000 per annum for three years for the purpose of assisting the City of Mount Gambier to produce the annual Mount Gambier Fringe. I am also aware the South Australian Tourism Commission committed $10,000 towards the marketing of the 2019 Fringe Festival in Mount Gambier through the 2018-19 Regional Events and Festivals Program.

I commend the City of Mount Gambier for its work in providing high quality arts and cultural experiences for the local community and I trust the next iteration of the Mount Gambier Fringe will build on the momentum of the first two events.
