For some years now I have been concerned about the blurring of the functions of governance and management in regard to the Queen Victoria Museum & Art Gallery. As time passes my concerns have become increasingly frustrated by the obfuscation I’ve experienced.
Consiquently I make this submission online for your consideration:
Consiquently I make this submission online for your consideration:
Your recent report on the TMAG, especially in regard to governance and management, resonated loudly with me in that I believe like circumstances pertain to the QVMAG as well.
Indeed, like with the TMAG, the roles and responsibilities between QVMAG and Launceston City Council need to be reviewed and clarified. I believe that the QVMAG operation, operating as it does under the Local Govt. Act, is most unsatisfactory in so much as Local Government and the governance of a cultural institution have quite different purposes and different operational imperatives.
I am totally in accord with your conclusion that the Tasmania Museum Act needs to be reviewed. Likewise, I believe that the legislation and regulations the QVMAG operates under also needs to be reviewed, as does the legislation relative to ‘public collections’ of cultural and scientific material held in trust in throughout Tasmania.
Yours sincerely,
