Arts NSW (now Create NSW) was the NSW Government's arts and culture policy and development body, providing support to artists and key arts and cultural organisations, and investing in the future of the arts through infrastructure and funding programs, and other targeted strategies. It is now Create NSW, part of the NSW Department of Enterprise, Investment and Trade.

In March 2014 we completed probity and governance advice to Arts NSW concerning the direct negotiation of lease arrangements with Carriageworks Limited for parts of the art space available at Carriageworks Redfern.

This included monitoring of the processes employed to assess relevant market circumstances, and viable alternative use cases, and for the determination of lease conditions.

Where necessary or requested we provided written advice on issues arising during the process. A Probity Report was prepared at the conclusion of the process.
