As part of the 2008/2009 ACT Budget, Chief Minister Jon Stanhope announced today that Canberra’s centenary celebrations have been given a $4.3m boost over the next four years.
The increase will assist with initiatives such as a survey to help understand the community’s expectations and the development of a curriculum unit to teach ACT students how and why Canberra became the nation’s capital.
The funding increase will allow for additional staffing to develop activities in community engagement, marketing and promotion.
