Council releases discussion document on cultural
heritage sector Auckland
Council today released a discussion document which looks at
its $61 million investment in five major arts and culture
heritage institutions across the city.
An
independent review of the cultural heritage sector carried
out by Stafford Strategy examines funding and governance
arrangements for the five major cultural heritage
institutions that are wholly, or in large part, funded by
the council - Auckland War Memorial Museum Tāmaki Paenga

amount of public money in them and want the sector to work
together to ensure future generations enjoy the full
benefits of our museums and galleries,” - Mayor Phil
Goff.
