Subject: TRIM: LGOIMA request - Museum insurance

I refer to your questions below received on 11 September under the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act.

1. How much of the estimated $30.5 million museum repair cost will be covered by insurance payout?
2. How / when will any insurance payouts be made?
3. How were / are any insurance payouts calculated?
4. How much has been / will be paid under the Business Interruption Policy?

Council's insurance claims are still active and being finalised. Any final claims and payments will be publically communicated at the appropriate time.

It is important to note that any insurance payout would only cover the cost of reinstating damage and not additional work required to bring the building up to current building code.

As per the Act, we are obliged to advise that you may contact the Ombudsman at the address below if you have any concerns with the response provided by Council, by writing to:

The Office of the Ombudsman
