Ms Elaine O'Connor:

On the second page of our presentation, we have a diagram of an iceberg. I do not want to diminish anything that has happened today but we were trying to point out that events, the arts and entertainment are at the top end of the iceberg, with much going on underneath that also needs to be supported. We have made a number of recommendations in our submission that would cater for many of these but members can see that a large amount of meaningful work is required. We need to start with a blank page and work through the practicality, viability, economics and every other element of this to ensure we can pull it together, deliver safe events and be able to produce a fall-back plan should something change. We need some sort of certainty that when we plan events and invest in them, they can be delivered.
