7 Letter to the Minister The Hon Sheila McHale MLA Minister responsible for the Museum Act 1969 Minister In accordance with the provisions of section 66 of the Financial Administration and Audit Act 1985, we have pleasure submitting for your information and presentation to Parliament the Annual Report of the Western Australian Museum for the financial year ending 30 June 2003. This year will be seen as one of the most historically significant for the Museum, in terms of delivering major projects and laying foundations for an even brighter future. The new Western Australian Maritime Museum in Fremantle and the Mid-West Gallery in the Western Australian Museum–Geraldton were the large capital projects concluded this year. Almost all Museum staff were involved in one or both of these and their successful delivery reflects the enthusiasm and skill of that diverse staff group. The new Maritime Museum attracted over 203,000 visitors in the seven months since opening, taking visitation of all the WA Museum sites to over 916,000 for the year, the highest number in our history. We recognise and appreciate the support of Government in proceeding with the planning for redevelopment of the Museum’s Perth site. The new annexe at Kew Street will improve collection storage immeasurably. As well, we will be able to improve the working conditions of staff and enhance public access to collections. This is a great step forward for the Museum’s operations. Throughout all of this, the Museum has maintained its research, exhibition and education programs. In particular, the school holiday program delivered through the Discovery Centre has reached new highs in visitation, with 11,536 visitors in one week period alone. Minister, the Trustees extend their thanks for your great support in our capital works programs and in taking the Museum forward in its Perth site development. We thank you for your ongoing support of our collection, research and public programs. Your participation in many of the Museum activities throughout the year was much appreciated. The Trustees also thank the Museum Foundation under the Chair of John Poynton for their commitment to enhancing the Museum’s programs through securing corporate and private support. The Friends of the WA Museum are to be thanked for their contribution to the rich array of Museum activities over the past 12 months. The Museum’s advisory boards and committees have contributed generously of their time in helping our various sites in planning, program development and revenue generation. The Department of Culture and the Arts under the Director General Alastair Bryant has increased its assistance to the Museum in Human Resources, Financial Services, and Information Services. The Trustees thank the Department for that support. Trustees acknowledge the enthusiastic and dedicated work of the Executive Director Dr Gary Morgan and his staff in working with Trustees to bring several long-term projects to conclusion. Their work continues as we collectively develop new initiatives to bring exciting and innovative programs to the community. In conclusion, I extend thanks to the other Trustees for their energy and wise counsel in guiding the Museum through a year of particular challenges and memorable achievements.
