WQ.74/2023
WRITTEN QUESTION TO
THE MINISTER FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, TOURISM, SPORT AND CULTURE BY DEPUTY R.J. WARD OF ST. HELIER CENTRAL
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 20th FEBRUARY 2023
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 27th FEBRUARY 2023
Question
“Further to section ‘MEDTSC P7.1’ of the Ministerial Delivery Plans regarding the Opera House, in which there is a stated aim to “Develop a new legal operating entity and corporate structure and review operating model”, will the Minister advise –
- which stakeholders are being included in this development and when in Quarter 2 of 2023 will this be completed; and
- whether any new corporate structure will be brought to the States Assembly for its approval and, if not, who will have the final sign-off of the corporate structure?”
Answer
- A stakeholder group, to be called, ‘Arts Consultation Panel’ is to be constituted. This panel will be made up of a number of sector experts from within the Jersey community and will play an advisory role, offering a robust view from the industry and sense-checking any of the conclusions we might come to about future operating models.
We are yet to form this group, and we will shortly be putting an open call out to the sector to ask for people to consider taking a place on the panel and assisting us with shaping the future of the Opera House.
This will be a voluntary panel and will be made up of people who are willing to freely give their time and expertise for the long term good of the sector. Whilst there will be a transparent selection process, anyone will be able to apply to join.
- I have asked for an options paper for future operating models to be presented to me in Q3 of 2023. I will await that paper before making any decisions about the future structure and whether or not they need to be brought to the Assembly for approval.
