From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cultural Ministers Council was an Australia intergovernmental organisation for ministers of culture and the arts.

History

[edit]

It was established in 1984[1] by the Prime Minister of Australia, Premiers of the Australian states and the Chief Minister of the Northern Territory. The Australian Capital Territory became a full member in 1990 as a consequence of being granted full self-governance with the passing of Australian Capital Territory (Self-Government) Act 1988. New Zealand became a full member in 1991 after previously having observer status. Australian Local Government Association, Norfolk Island and Papua New Guinea had observer status.[2] The council operated under the Broad Protocols and General Principles for the Operation of Ministerial Councils defined by the Council of Australian Governments.[3]

The Cultural Ministers Council has not met since 2011:

On 13 February 2011, the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) agreed to comprehensive reform of the Ministerial Council system. COAG agreed to create a number of councils and governance fora but the Cultural Ministers Council was not identified to transition to this new structure and its remit was withdrawn on 30 June 2011.
