4 The Hon. Sheila McHale MLA Minister responsible for the Museum Act 1969 Minister Western Australian Museum Annual Report 2000–2001 Letter to the Minister In accordance with the provisions of section 66 of the Financial Administration and Audit Act 1985, we have pleasure in submitting for your information and presentation to Parliament the Annual Report of the Western Australian Museum for the financial year ending 30 June 2001. The past year has been one of noteworthy achievements. The innovative new exhibition Western Australia: Land and People was completed and opened, and has been extremely popular with visitors to our main Perth site. The Museum acknowledges the contribution of many people and organisations to its success, and in particular the support of the Lotteries Commission. The new Western Australian Museum–Geraldton was opened in July 2000 and exhibition installation will be complete in the next year. The Batavia portico has been installed in the Museum’s Shipwrecks Gallery and makes a strong statement about the early maritime history of this State. Already, the new Museum has become a focal point for the Geraldton community. Construction of the new Maritime Museum in Fremantle progresses well. Teams of Museum curators continue to work with exhibition designers in planning for the exciting visitor experience that will be unveiled towards the end of 2002. The Trustees of the Western Australian Museum acknowledge the sustained support of the State Government in achieving quality Museum outcomes for the people of Western Australia. We thank you, in your new role of Minister for Culture and the Arts, for your commitment to working with the Museum in maximising our contributions to the State. The Museum faces significant challenges concerning infrastructure over the next few years, but we are confident that in working with you and your government we can make great advances towards overcoming them. The Trustees also acknowledge with thanks the support of the Hon. Mike Board JP MLA, as Minister for the Arts under the previous government. I would add, too, our appreciation of the assistance provided by the central offices of the Ministry for Culture & the Arts, and the efforts of the Director General, Mr Alastair Bryant. The Trustees also acknowledge the leadership and guidance of the Executive Director, Dr Gary Morgan, and the work of Western Australian Museum staff in maintaining the place of the Museum as a research centre of international repute and in continuing a vibrant program of exhibitions and educational programs. We also thank the Western Australian Museum Foundation, the Friends of the Western Australian Museum, and the site and disciplinary advisory boards for all that they have done, and continue to do, in assisting the Museum achieve its goals.
