BACKGROUND
Queensland Art Gallery Board of Trustees Annual Report 2011–12 09
Operational Plan 2011–12
The Queensland Art Gallery’s
Operational Plan 2011–12
detailed key undertakings proposed for the 12-month period
from 1 July 2011 to 30 June 2012 in support of these
goals. This plan complies with requirements set out in the
Queensland Art Gallery Act 1987
and should be read in
conjunction with the Queensland Art Gallery
Strategic Plan
2011–16
.
Our suite of planning documents also included two specific
purpose plans:
Queensland Art Gallery Asset Strategic
Plan 2011–16
and
Queensland Art Gallery Information
Communication and Technology Resources Strategic Plan
2011–16
.
The Operational Plan addressed the three key goals of the
Strategic Plan 2011–16
. The plan outlined:
• Major exhibitions and Collection-based exhibitions
• Australian Cinémathèque programs
• Publishing
• Fundraising
• Marketing and communications
• Public programs
• Children’s Art Centre
• Membership
• Commercial services.
Some modifications to the
Operational Plan
were made during
the financial year, in response to various factors, and with
the endorsement of the Board of Trustees. These included
changes to exhibition scheduling and dates. Key performance
measures — including the number of exhibitions presented,
attendances, audience satisfaction, the number of website
user sessions, and the number of regional locations receiving
exhibitions and services — exceeded the 2011–12 targets.
Neither the former Minister for Finance, Natural Resources
and The Arts nor the Minister for Science, Information
Technology, Innovation and the Arts gave any directions
to the Board during or relating to the financial year.
