A proposed restructure of the South Australian Museum which would have seen 27 full-time positions abolished has been 'withdrawn', following a state government review.
A proposal to restructure the South Australian Museum has been "withdrawn" following a review, the SA government says.The government says it has allocated $4.1 million to the museum to ensure there is a strategic plan for a "recalibrated" future.A controversial "reimagining" of the South Australian Museum has been taken off the table, following a government review of proposed changes which would have seen 27 positions abolished.
"The deliberations that were made that led to that proposed restructure not an ideal process. It was short of the mark."A panel was set up to conduct a premier's review, which made six recommendations aimed at building a "solid governance" framework for the museum. "Now we re-set, we recalibrate and contemplate a new future for the museum that ensures that it's a living institution that serves our community in a modern era," Mr Malinauskas said.
"While the new strategic vision endorsed by the board is valuable, it does not replace the need for a complete strategic plan and a defined research strategy," the review found. PSA general secretary Natasha Brown is welcoming the funding, and says she hopes support can be "enhanced" going forward.One of the review's recommendations indicated the museum's galleries and exhibition spaces needed to be "enhanced", because they were only a third of the size of what was required.
She said Professor Saint had a big task ahead, as the board's presiding member, to rebuild trust between the executive and staff.
