21. Events occurring after <strong>Report</strong>ing Date<br />
During the year, a review commenced on the functions of statutory authorities within the Culture and the Arts portfolio<br />
and of ScreenWest. <strong>The</strong> purpose of the review is to determine whether it could be appropriate for the functions of these<br />
agencies to be performed by the Department of Culture and the Arts, thus reducing the number of statutory authorities.<br />
A review consultant was engaged to analyse submissions received from key stakeholders and to make recommendations<br />
to the Minister. <strong>The</strong> Minister has sought feedback from the Department of the Premier and Cabinet and the Department<br />
of Treasury and Finance on the recommendations of the review consultant. Consultation is continuing in the development<br />
of a submission to cabinet for approval of review recommendations.<br />
