Arts on Hold as Sports Get Priority
Description
Arts are taking a hit as the state budget cuts back, with the long-awaited Tarrkarri Centre for First Nations Cultures left without state funding—despite hopes for federal or private support. Meanwhile, a major arts media hub on Franklin Street is getting $49.3 million to unite key cultural institutions under one roof by 2029. But the real focus? The 2027 MotoGP, with $3.3 million earmarked for planning and even custom plates costing $185,000. Other sports and tourism projects also get boosts: a $100 million gymnastics centre, upgrades to Karen Rolton Oval and the Heysen Trail, and an extra $1.5 million for the Adelaide Fringe. It’s a clear shift—sports and entertainment infrastructure are front and center, while arts projects wait in the wings.
