COVER

The dram atic southern facade o f the new W harf 7 M aritime H eritage Centre is a stylish addition to the rapidly redeveloping Pyrmont peninsula and w aterfront. The design by architects Crawford Partners blends m odern materials and details with a strong reference to traditional w orking w aterfront forms.

TITLE PAGE

The M useum ’s newest attraction, the form er RAN Oberon class subm arin e HMAS Onslow, w as h an ded over by the Navy and opened to the public late in the financial year and im m ediately attracted huge interest both from visitors and the media.

W ithout doubt the past year has been one o f the biggest since the Australian National Maritime Museum opened, as readers o f this report will quickly appreciate.

The M useum ’s profile just seem s to keep rising. It gives m e great pleasure to present this record o f our year in this Annual Report for the period 1 July 1998 to 30 June 1999.

Even a fleeting glance at the following pages reveals a trem endous level o f activity and achievem ent. M ost spectacularly we com pleted construction and began the move into the W harf 7 Maritime Heritage Centre. The Peter Doyle Learning Centre was com m issioned and The W elcome Wall came to fruition. Along with som e really m ajor exhibitions and the Classic &JVooden Boat Festival, we opened the Oberonclass subm arine LIMAS Onslow to the public. Then there w as the excitem ent of our involvement in the search for rem ains o f C oo k ’s Endeavour.

And we can already see that the com ing year will be just as big, if not even bigger!

The M useum is now in its eighth year o f operation. O f the millions o f people who have visited in person, over 30 percent have been from overseas. Clearly this national institution is functioning very well as a kind o f cultural am bassador. It provides visitors with an understanding o f this country’s m akeup through its presentation of the unique Mend o f people and geography and history, so often m aritim e, that have shaped the Australian experience.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the G overnm ent for its ongoing support. We w elcom ed a new M inister for the A rts, the Hon Peter M cGauran MP, who showed an im m ediate interest in the M useum . In fact he dropped in to see us ju st a few days into his job, and has been a regular visitor since then. Som e will have heard him on A BC Radio speaking about his fascination for the m ystery o f the sea, and his appreciation of the excitem ent o f our National Maritime Museum.

The year has not, o f course, been a solo voyage! I would like especially to thank my fellow Councillors for their sup port in guiding the M useum ’s developm ent, contributing not ju st their experience but their evident passion for this institution.

We thank our sponsors and sup po rters for their contributions, so essential to our success.T hese include our M em bers, those 6,000-plu s people who think that this is a terrific place to be a part of. The M useum ’s corps o f cheerful volunteers deserve special mention too, contributing over 26,00 0 hours o f their time to help us achieve the ambitious targets we have set.

Finally I w ould like to acknow ledge the dedication and professionalism o f the M useum ’s staff, who continue to w ork hard to m ake this one o f the great m aritim e m useum s o f the world.

DIRECTOR'S OVERVIEW

Beginning the m ove into the $20 m illion W h arf 7 M aritim e H eritage Centre w as a fitting climax to the year under review. We head with confidence towards the year 2000, with a spectacular developm ent that breaks new ground in m useum s practice while satisfying a num ber o f needs that have weighed heavily on the organisation.

M inister for the Arts the Hon Peter M cGauran MP (LEFT), on his first visit to the M useum on assum ing his new portfolio, inspecting plans for the W harf 7 M aritim e H eritage Centre w ith D irector Dr Kevin Fewster. Behind them is the em pty site o f the developm ent, with its first prefabricated fram es rising. Nine m onths later staff w ere in residence.

M r M cGauran will open the W harf 7 M aritim e H eritage Centre on 8 O ctober 1999.

Suddenly the M useum ’s presence on this high-profile p art o f Sydney’s spectacular w aterfront has doubled, and we have not ju st a m useum site but a m aritim e heritage precinct. We w elcom e our colleagues from Sydney H eritage Fleet, w hose collocation with us ends years o f uncertainty and their long search for suitable accom m odation.

Side by side, our respective skills and collections create an unrivalled maritime resource.

W hen their James Craig ties up alongside soon, and we provide space as well for the HM Bark Endeavour Foundation, Sydney’s brand new M aritim e H eritage Centre will be even m ore spectacular.

Consolidating the M useum ’s facilities in one precinct frees us from the uncertainties we faced with the lease expiring on the offsite Pyrm ont prem ises which for ten years have housed staff, collections, research library, laboratories and w orkshops that could never be accom m odated on the main site. The years o f effort to obtain the approvals to finance and build atW harf 7 now pay off handsomely. W e’ve escaped the real threat o f being priced out o f this vibrant area which has developed so intensely since we arrived, avoiding the prospect o f renting auxiliary prem ises far away.

We are im m ensely proud to have created a facility that defines m odern m useum practice, opening our behind-the-scenes collection m anagem ent processes and storage areas to the public who will be w elcom e to visit. W e’re p rou d ,to o, o f the energy efficiencies designed into it, including passive tem perature control and special insulation.

And it’s been accom plished with a m arvellous design that respects the industrial traditions o f maritime w harf architecture.

DIRECTOR'S OVERVIEW MJ

X u O n the main M useum site the Peter Doyle Learning Centre was built onto the existing building, designed for us by its original architects C ox Richardson. Funded largely by a public appeal that raised $ 1 8 0 ,0 0 0 , it provides a long-sought-after centre for education, training and activity for schools, volunteers and com m unity groups. It’s a fitting tribute to the M useum ’s first Chairm an, Peter D oyle, who was so passionate about the M useum ’s potential for children. The fundraising su p port from his family and friends w as a tribute to P eter’s influence and the affection so many people held for him. With these extra facilities school visits have already risen measurably.

M arathon ocean swim m er Susie M aroney open ed the Ocean Planet exhibition w hich the M useum has im ported from the Sm ithsonian Institution in W ashington DC. Ms M aroney, w ho has swum in w aters as diverse as the Caribbean, the H udson River and the Nile and swum with oil slicks and even dead anim als, praised the exhibition’s m essage o f care for ou r irreplaceable marine environm ent.

BIG A TTRA CTIO N S The diversity o f our am bitious exhibition and program s calendar is evident over the follow ing pages. Som e o f them resulted from fruitful collaborations with m useum s overseas, for exam ple Ocean Planet from the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D C , and The LastWindjammers from the Alands Maritime Museum. HM AS Onslow, second-last o f the N avy’s O beron subm arines, cam e to the M useum in June. The dem ands o f maintaining and displaying m useum ‘ob jects’ o f this size are great, and like the Daring class destroyer Vampire, Onslow will test our abilities. But our experience in managing this kind o f m useum exhibit is now considerable, and recognised by the Royal Australian Navy who have dem onstrated their confidence in the M useum by entrusting us with another o f their vessels. O u r Naval Council M em ber R ear Adm iral W illiam D overs C SC RA N handed the boat over, and with it he presented us Onslow’s Naval White Ensign and perm ission to fly it, just as we do with Vampire. In this we are unique.

CELEB R A T IN G DIVERSITY In January the G overnor-G eneral, Sir W illiam D eane, launched the first 3 ,0 0 0 names on The W elcom e Wall. This national m onum ent to im m igrants, which we have erected along our northern w aterfront walkway, has really captured the hearts o f Australians.

Many thanks m ust go to Cable & W ireless O ptus, its Principal Sponsor. The ceremony was an outstanding and joyous family occasion with 3 ,5 0 0 guests who w ere a true cross section o f our m ulti-faceted society celebrating their achievem ents. At the sam e

DIRECTOR'S OVERVIEW

The Governor-General, Sir William Deane AC KBE, w alked with children o f the w orld to unveil the Welcome Wall in January. Sir William and Lady Deane w ere guests o f honour at the ceremony which w as the clim ax o f several years o f planning and developm ent o f this special Australian National M aritim e M useum initiative.

tim e we launched the W elcom c Wall Web Site with its searchable database o f all subscribers and their fam ilys’ historical details.The m edia support we achieved for the launching was trem endous and subscriptions quickly built tow ards the next 3 ,0 0 0 nam es which we will unveil in August 1999 with the support o f the Snowy Mountains H ydro-Electric Authority, celebrating its SOth anniversary.

This followed our success in winning two national Multicultural M arketing Awards from the Ethnic Affairs C om m ission o f N SW for 1 9 9 8 ’s m ajor exhibition at the M useum , Tears, Fears ScCheers: Migration to Australia 1788 to 1998. This was the largest and m ost am bitious exhibition we have created, and with its special educational and visitor p ro g ram s and associated p rom otion s it w on the M useum both the Best G overnm ent Project category as well as the Grand Award for the best project overall.

Congratulations to all staff involved.

A R C H A E O L O G Y A N D IMAGE O ur long-standing A m erican ties w ere strengthened further with the support we are lending to U S researcher D r Kathy Abbass who has shown that a British transport nam ed Lord Sandwich, scuttled in 1778 to defend N ew po rt H arbour from a French fleet, could be Captain C o o k ’s barque Endeavour. O ne o f our m aritim e archaeologists and Curator o f our USA Gallery, Paul Hundley, joined D r Abbass’ Rhode Island Marine Archaeology Program (RIM AP) in March to do a prelim inary dive on the site and discuss further collaboration. This will include sending an A N M M team to assist later in 1999. The w orldw ide interest in the possibility o f discovering Endeavour is huge, both from the public and the m edia, and our Australian archaeologists’ extensive experience at underw ater excavating m akes them valuable assets for projects such as RIMAP. For the sixth year the M useum ’s Curator o f M aritim e Archaeology, Kieran Hosty, participated in the Queensland M useum -led excavation o f HM S Pandora. He also led a M useum team to carry out a m aritim e archaeological survey o f the Levuka Harbour on behalf o f the Fiji M useum and the Levuka Town Council. This international inter-m useum p roject was sponsored by the M useum and the D epartm ent o f Foreign Affairs andTrade.

The O beron-class subm arine rem ains fully-equipped and in near-operational condition, with many human mem entos donated by form er crew to give the boat a ‘lived-in’ am bience.

O U TLO O K The Sydney 2000 O lym pic Gam es have som e very positive im plications for us. Highprofile clients have booked venue spaces at our D arling H arbour sites, including the establishm ent o f Holland-Heineken H ouse.T his will be the hospitality centre for the Dutch presence at the O lym pics. A part from the revenue this brings we will see a high profile for the M useum in term s o f international and VIP visitors to these facilities.

We are seeing num bers in som e decline across the board at m useum s and even sporting venues. This seems associated with the competition for recreational time o f an increasing num ber o f other attractions and hom e-based entertainm ents, due to rapid changes in inform ation technology. The O lym pics’ im m ediate effect on M useum visitor num bers is to som e extent an unknown despite the influx o f tourists. The effect o f the G ST on m useum visitation is also unclear. Som e analysts foresee a decline o f 10% or so in arts ticketing receipts until the public adjusts to any adm issions price rises. In the m edium term the O lym pics’ stim ulation o f overseas tourism should benefit the M useum with its traditionally high proportion o f overseas visitors. O ver a longer term the ageing Australian population may benefit m useum s, for exam ple by increased m em berships.

We are confident that the special nature o f som e o f our com ing attractions will help attract visitors back. The Oberon submarine immediately lifted numbers when it opened in June, underlying the unique ‘hands-and-feet-on’ appeal o f ships and boats for the non-seafaring public. Coinciding with the strong Netherlands presence at the M useum next year, we will host a year-long visit by the spectacular 56-m etre-long reconstruction o f the Batavia, with her m asts taller than the M useum ! Batavia w as a D utch United East India Com pany (V O C ) ship w recked off W estern Australia in 1629. When Batavia and James Craig are joined by the bark Endeavour in m id-2000, our visitors will have the unique opportunity o f seeing 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th century ships alongside each other! W ith an exhibition highlighting the V O C featuring borrow ed treasures from Netherlands m useum s, and our ow n Secrets o f the Sea exploring stories like the Flying Dutchman, haunted ships, m erm aids and m onsters, we exp ect a flying start to the year 2000 and the new Millennium the following year.

H I N G T H E N A T IO N & THE W O R L D

AS A N A T IO N A L O R G A N ISA T IO N the M useum seeks opportu nities to foster understanding o f the nation’s m aritim e heritage Australia-wide, providing leadership and assistance. Travelling exhibitions are just one of many ways we do this. O ur maritime archaeologists, conservators, curators and other professions offer expertise to other states and countries. N ew electronic m edia including the Internet are taking M useum collections and other m aterial to ever m ore people in schools, libraries and hom es throughout Australia and the world.

American Friends o f the Australian National M aritime M useum w as developed this year by the M useum ’s LISA Gallery, a tribute to trans-Pacific m aritim e links which w as funded through a 1988 Bicentennial gift from the U nited States. The A m erican Friends schem e is a non-profit corporation incorporated in D elaw are to increase knowledge about the M useum and the LISA Gallery and raise support through US tax-exem pt donations.

The Maritime Museums o f Australia Project Support Scheme (M M APSS), established in 1995-96, awarded a fourth round o f grants totalling $ 3 0 ,0 0 0 to nine institutions around the nation. T he schem e is jointly funded by A N M M and the Com m onw ealth G overnm ent’s D istributed National C ollection Program to support collection m anagem ent, conservation and exhibition proposals from m useum s and other local organisations. It is adm inistered by M useum staff. See A ppendix 1 3, page 90, for details o f 1998 grants.

Other outreach activities included: •

An overseas visitor ratio o f consistently 30% or m ore o f all visitors lifts the M useum ’s international profile.

Our new CD-ROM Captain Cook’s Endeavour Journal 1768-71, published in collaboration with the National Library o f Australia, provides a digital facsim ile o f the 700page hand-written Endeavour journal. It has provided schools, libraries an d researchers access to the most im portant and popu lar heritage item in the National Library’s collection, with no dandger to the priceless original. This join t project was initiated when the Museum developed a prototy pe in 1995. After three years o f developm ent at NLA this encyclopaedic com pilation includes the authoritative JC Beaglehole indexed transcript, 100,000-w ord supplem etary texts, hundreds o f historic im ages including those o f the voyage’s artists, virtual reality 3D-simulations o f the ship based on the Endeavour replica, plu s video and au d io clips.

The program included forum s, lectures and w orkshops, and these very d etailed Education R esource Kits for prim ary and secondary level.

PROGRAM SUMMARY V ISITO R A M EN ITIES im proved with the reopening ofY ots C afe, providing both cafeteria and quality w aterside dining facilities, operated by the well-known M ode G roup. Sydney by Sail continued to expand its sailing products that offer visitors onthe-water experiences from our wharves, as well as providing revenue for the Museum.

The Store, previously leased by an independent operator, was taken over by the M useum with an im m ediate im provem ent in returns. We will now have m ore control over m erchandise carried, in particular exhibition-related lines.

V O L U N T E E R S help deliver our services in many ways, w orking in m ost M useum sections as the table overleaf shows. They have led a total 4 ,3 0 2 VampireTours, escorting 4 3 ,8 7 2 visitors. G eneral M useum guided tours have been seen by 9 ,9 5 3 visitors on 1,362 tours. A fter a period closed for repairs the Cape Bowling Green lighthouse re ­ opened for tours in conjunction with the vessels on the N orth W harf. Guides have escorted 2 ,9 1 6 visitors on 238 o f these tours. This year Volunteer num bers rose by 30% to 245, and their contribution o f 26,506 hours also exceeded the year’s targets.

M A R K E T R ESEA R C H to determ ine our cu stom ers’ needs rem ains a priority. The M useum now conducts sum m artive research on all m ajor tem porary exhibitions to m axim ise visitor satisfaction and plan future exhibitions. In 1998 the first survey of school children was conducted with the help o f students from the U niversity o f Technology, Sydney. T he subjects w ere asked to answer a short questionnaire on the exhibition Tears, Fears and Cheers, pinpointing aspects that engaged the senses and stimulated imagination. Their movements through the exhibition were m apped to reveal the m ost-visited sections, helping M useum designers plan the best physical layout for future exhibitions. The flow o f adult visitors was also recorded during 1998 in a threepart study o f visitor orientation and directional signage, to highlight potential trouble spots in the galleries and im prove orientation aids for visitors.

C U STO M E R SERVICE gains a boost with the completion o f W harf 7 Maritime Heritage C entre. This is the expression o f our ultim ate com m itm ent to client service, where we open traditionally behind-the-scenes m useum activities to the public, along with access to our largely publicly funded collections. O ur C ustom er Service Taskforce developed a workshop in conjunction with Sydney O pera H ouse, and began delivering the first round o f custom er focus training to every staff m em ber, whether floor staff in day-to-day contact with the public or back-of-house w orkers. N ew exhibitions and program s include a p roduct launch for the 36 perm anent and casual custom er service staff, including reception, ticketing and security, provided by the Benson Group. These ensure floor staff are able to answer visitor enquiries. W ith the opening ofW harf 7 and Sydney Heritage Fleet people coming on board, we upgraded access control and identity card system s. This will help to accom m odate the many visitors w orking on-site over the O lym pic period.

E N H A N C IN G R E V E N U E , m inimising expenses and financial m anagem ent are keys to im proving the services and products we offer our custom ers. Revenues and costs appear in tables on pages 32, 38-40. Substantial changes are taking place in relation to asset m anagem ent and financial reporting due to changes in governm ent policy as well as expansion o f M useum activities. N ew projects undertaken by the Finance Section em anating from governm ent policy include coordinating com prehensive insurance

These present a challenge to the M useum ’s limited resources as will m anaging the introduction o f GST. BU ILD IN G SERVICES section continues its involvement in the design o f energyefficient initiatives for W harf 7. Energy savings continue (note accom panying table).

Capital works com pleted within the period include the Peter D oyle Learning Centre, rectification ofYots Cafe, and upgrading security system s. N o longer required to lease m otor vehicles from the Com m onw ealth, we now realise significant financial benefits by owning the fleet outright.

O b je cts d isp lay e d in the e x h ib itio n L am alera - Whale hunters o f Indonesia included a m odel o f the traditional w haling boat called tena; the spiritually potent carved stern board or madi; w oven containers for crew provisions and possessions; a harpoon head and flensing knife. A full-sized sail o f this type hung in the exhibition, collected by the curator in this rem ote part o f Eastern Indonesia.

PU BLIC PR O G R A M S as diverse as The W elcome Wall and the Classic &J¥ooden Boat Festival provided an increasing proportion o f the M useum ’s products which inform and engage the public with our nation’s m aritim e history. Stressing participation and enjoyment, we continued to capitalise on the public appeal o f boating and water-based activities. The 1998 Classic &JVooden Boat Festival grew in scope and popularity, developing into a true folk festival celebrating m aritim e skills and cultures. Its greatly expanded feast o f lectures, presentations and film included noted international figures invited exclusively for the Festival. O ne w as M att Murphy, editor o f WoodenBoat, the US-published ‘bible’ o f the classic boat revival. We brought Ken Warby, Australian holder o f the world w ater speed record in a boat that’s on display in our Leisure Gallery, from his hom e in the USA and celebrated the 20th anniversary o f his record which coincided with the Festival.

TRA VELLIN G EX H IBITIO N S continue our com m itm ent to other states and regional centres. Ocean Planet from the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D C , U SA , is the latest in a line o f quality international exhibitions A NM M has im ported and toured around Australia, such as Mary Rose from the LIK in 1994-95. And our own exhibitions continued to reach other countries. This year Wreck o f the Ju lia Ann, based on ANM M archaeological w ork about a 19th-century gold-rush shipw reck in the Pacific, was on the road in the United States. O u r popular exhibition Thalassa - Greek Australians and the Sea finished an Australia tour, w arm ly received w herever there are large GreelcA ustralian populations. O u r C D -i based co m p u ter k iosk s, Titanic, an interactive exploration, also continue to tour nationally.

It celebrated the 50th anniversary o f the last voyage o f the winddriven iron barques carrying South Australian wheat to Europe. A m ajor Australian com ponent was developed with assistance from surviving Cape H orners in this country.

The M useum also took part in die International Partnerships Am ong M useums (IPAM) program . C urator o f Tem porary Exhibitions M ariea Fisher and Jan C rocker, Exhibits M anager o f Boston’s M useum o f Science, visited each oth er’s w orkplace to develop a how-to manual on touring international exhibitions. It addresses logistical requirements such as international shipping and custom s, dealing with different electrical power sources and m easurem ent systems, design information, curatorial input, packaging and so on. IPAM is an institution-to-institution exchange program adm inistered by the American Association o f M useum s with funding from the U S Information Agency.

C H A N G IN G EX H IBIT IO N S at the M useum are detailed on pages 8-13. Preparing our new attraction the O beron subm arine for display required concerted team w ork and liaison with the RA N when the handover date o f H M AS Onslow was announced at relatively short notice. The M useum benefited from its unique experience in displaying a Russian subm arine in recent years.

While at the end of the year under review the process o f settling into the new facility was not com plete, it was nonetheless a mighty milestone on the way to im proving the way we care for and research Australia’s cultural and material m aritim e heritage (Key Focus Area 3). Registration, Conservation and Library staff in particular had w orked closely with the M u seu m ’s architects and p roject consultants in the previous years to plan better environm ents, storage and support system s for housing, accessing and displaying the collections.

s c ^ c_ ^ ^ ^

Unavoidably we had to reduce the service we could provide to public and professional users o f the various collections and M useum resources, while we prepared for and u ndertook the relocation. The challenges rem ain to get the new prem ises working optimally and return our services to norm al, while adjusting to the higher profile and visibility to the public that our collection m anagem ent will have. W ork continues to ensure the sm oothest possible sharing o f collection storage and other facilities with our colleagues from Sydney H eritage Fleet.

A C Q U ISIT IO N S for the year are sam pled in Appendix 2 and 3, selected to show the diversity o f material which we accession while managing still m odest collecting budgets.

From the estate o f Nancy Jean Steele, the M useum w as offered the collection and story o f O skar Speck, a G erm an m igrant who paddled from Germ any to Australia in a kayak, from 1932 to 1939. He arrived in Australia days after Australia declared war on G erm any and was subsequently interned inTatura. His collection includes 14 rolls of 16 m m film o f his voyage, papers, passports, photographs and a m odel o f die kayak he sailed in to Australia which Speck m ade while he w as interned. The M useum has been awarded funding o f $40,0 0 0 from the beneficiary o f the Nancy Jean Steel Estate to catalogue and preserve the collection.

VAUGHAN EVANS LIBRARY closed to public researchers in February to prepare to m ove into W harf 7. As a result many o f the activities rep orted in the table overleaf w ere considerably reduced com pared with previous years, inter alia accessioning and cataloguing. R equests for internal loans plum m eted for the sam e reason, with staff in otlier areas also preparing for the transition to W harf 7. The new premises on the second floor will provide a lighter and in many ways m ore pleasant aspect for u sers when it reopens for public visits in the com ing year. Access to the Sydney H eritage Fleet’s photographic collection, now housed in the sam e area, will assist our volunteers who help answ er p u blic re search en q uiries. T h ese w ere in creasin g m arkedly as we inaugurated an on-line research enquiry form at the year’s end. Progress implementing the new National Library Kinetica system , which replaces the Australian Bibliographic N etw ork, was slowed by the m ove and lim ited availability o f in-house inform ation technology resources.

The M useum won not ju st the Best Government Project category but also the Grand Award for the best project overall for its prom otions o f this outstanding exhibition. Tears, Fears S^Cheers was the largest, m ost am bitious exhibition created so far at the M useum , drawing on international collections to tell the story o f Australia’s m igrant society and the role o f the sea in bringing our diverse population to these shores. It gave the M useum an opportunity to showcase its exp ertise in m ulticultural m arketing, developed over the years as we put together exhibitions that reflected Australia’s plural society, such as Thalassa - Greek Australians and the Sea and John Bulun-Bulun - TheWelcoming o f Strangers. With Tears, Fears Sl Cheers we ran many public and educational program s such as the Ship Reunion Sundays which brought together m igrants from England, Italy, G reece and Holland to relive the sea voyages they’d shared.

1.2 R oun d in g Amounts are rounded to the nearest $ 1,000 except in relation to: • remuneration of council members; and • remuneration of auditors.

1.3 Spon sorsh ip s Sponsorship receipts and benefits in kind are included in the financial statements on an accruals basis. Expenses incurred in obtaining sponsorship benefits are considered to be part of the Museum’s normal expenditure and require no separate treatment.

1.4 Taxation The Museum is exempt from all forms of taxation except fringe benefits tax and sales tax on goods purchased for resale.

1.5

Inventories

Inventories held represent stock held for resale by the Museum store. Inventories are valued at cost in accordance with AAS 2 Inventories except where no longer required, in which case they are valued at net realisable value. Cost is assigned to individual items of inventory using weighted average costs.

1.6 Property, Plant an d E quipm ent Purchases of property, plant and equipment arc recognised initially at cost in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, except for purchases costing less than $2,000, which are expensed in the year of acquisition (other than where they form part of a group of similar items which are significant in total).The $2,000 threshold was selected because it facilitates efficient asset management and recording without materially affecting asset values recognised.

The acquisition o f property, plant and equipment free of charge or for a nominal amount is recognised initially at fair value.

Schedule 2 requires that property plant and equipment be progressively revalued in accordance with the ‘deprival’ method o f valuation by no later than 1 July 1999 and thereafter be revalued progressively on that basis every three years.

The Museum completed its asset revaluation on 30 June 1999 has implemented its progressive revaluations to 1 July 1999 as follows: • • •

44

leasehold improvements have been revalued as at 30 June 1999; exhibition fitout have been revalued by type of asset as at 30 June 1999; plant and equipment, including information technology equipment, have been revalued by type of asset as at 30 June 1999. None of the information technology assets are subject to finance leases.

1.6 Property, Plant and Equipm ent (con tin ued) Leasehold land and buildings were excluded from the 30 June 1999 revaluation as they were less than one year old at the time of revaluation.

The National Maritime Collection is carried at cost except for independently valued objects which have been valued under the deprival method of valuation. Please refer to Note 8 for additional information. As a class of assets, it is due for revaluation in 1999-2000.

Assets in each class acquired after each revaluation cycle will be reported on a historic cost or valuation basis, as initially recognised on acquisition, until the next progressive revaluation of that class.

The application of the deprival method values land at its current market buying price and other assets at their depreciated replacement cost. Any assets which would not be replaced or are surplus to requirements are valued at net realisable value; at 30 June 1999, there were no assets in this situation.

All valuations are independent. The revaluation was conducted by the Australian Valuation Office.

The carrying amounts of non-current assets of the Australian National Maritime Museum have been reviewed to determine whether they are in excess of their recoverable amounts. In assessing recoverable amounts, where appropriate, the relevant cash flows have been discounted to their present value at the rate of 12%.

Depreciable property, plant and equipment assets are written off to their estimated residual values over their estimated useful lives to the Museum using, in all cases, the straight line method of depreciation. Leasehold improvements are amortised on a straight line basis over the lesser of the estimated useful life of the improvements or the uncxpired period of the lease.

Depreciation/amortisation rates (useful lives) and methods are reviewed at each balance date and necessary adjustments are recognised in the current, or current and future reporting periods, as appropriate. Residual values are re-estimated for a change in prices only when assets are revalued.

Depreciation and amortisation rates applying to each class of depreciable asset are as follows:

Buildings on leasehold land Leasehold land Leasehold improvements Permanent exhibition items Plant and equipment

1999 22 years 105 years Lease term or 10 years 7 years 20% - 33%

1998 Not applicable Not applicable Lease term or 10 years 7 years 20% - 33%

The Collection is not depreciated because of its long term nature and the expected appreciation of its historical value.

The aggregate amount of depreciation allowed for each class o f asset during the reporting period is disclosed in Note 5C.

SUM M ARY OF S IG N IF IC A N T A C C O U N T I N G POLICIES ( C O N T I N U E D )

1.7 Liability for Em ployee entitlem ents The liability for employee entitlements encompasses provisions for annual leave and long service leave. No provision has been made for sick leave as it is non-vesting and the average sick leave taken by employees is less than the annual entitlement for sick leave.

The provision for annual leave reflects the value of total annual leave entitlements of all employees at 30 June 1999 and is recognised at its nominal value.

The liability for long service leave is recognised and measured at the present value o f the estimated future cash flows to be made in respect of all employees at 30 June 1999. In determining the present value of the liability, attrition rates and pay increases through promotion and inflation have been taken into account.

Provision is also made for separation and redundancy payments in circumstances where the Museum has formally identified positions as excess to requirements, and publicly communicated this information, and a reliable estimate of the amount of the payments can be determined.

1.8 Leases A distinction is made between finance leases, which effectively transfer from the lessor to the lessee substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of leased assets, and operating leases, under which the lessor effectively retains all such risks and benefits. The Museum has no current finance leases.

Operating lease payments arc charged to expense on a basis which is representative of the pattern of benefits derived from the leased assets. The net present value of future net outlays in respect of surplus space under non-cancellable lease agreements is expensed in the period in which the space becomes surplus.

1.9 B ad an d d o u b tfu l d ebts Bad debts are written off during the year in which they are identified, and expensed to the extent they have not previously been provided for. A review of all outstanding receivables at year end identifies any additional doubtful debts for which a provision and an expense are made.

1.10 Cash For the purpose of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash includes deposits held at call with a bank, cash floats and investments in short term money market instruments.

1.11 Revenue Appropriation revenue is recognised at the time the Museum becomes entitled to receive the revenue.

Resources received free of charge are recognised as revenues in the Operating Statement when received and their fair value can be reliably measured. Use o f the resources is recognised as an expense or an asset, according to whether there is a long term benefit Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised upon the delivery of goods to customers. Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 1.11 Revenue (con tin ued) Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised by reference to the stage o f completion o f contracts. The stage o f completion is determined according to the proportion that costs incurred to date hear to the estimated total costs o f the transaction.

1.12 Financial Instrum ents Accounting policies in relation to financial instruments are disclosed in Note 26.

1.13 B o rrow in g costs All borrowing costs are expensed as incurred exccpt to the extent that they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised. The amount capitalised in a reporting period docs not exceed the amounts of costs incurred in that period.

During 1998-99, the Museum had one qualifying asset (Wharf 7 building) for which funds were borrowed specifically.

1.14 C om parative figures Where necessary, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform with changes in presentation in these financial statements.

1.15 C hanges in acco u n tin g p olicies Changes in accounting policy have been identified in this note under their appropriate headings.

2. SEGMENT REPORTING The Museum operates in a single industry and geographic segment, being provision of government programs in Australia.

3. ECONOMIC DEPENDENCY The Australian National Maritime Museum is controlled by the Government of the Commonwealth o f Australia.

The Museum is dependent on appropriations from Parliament of the Commonwealth for its continued existence and ability to carry out its normal activities.

4. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Construction delays and design issues associated with the Wharf 7 building have resulted in an undefinable amount of ‘variation costs’ which may not be mutually resolved and definitively agreed upon until early 2000.

The Museum contributes to the Commonwealth Superannuation (CSS) and the Public Sector (PSS) superannuation schemes which provide retirement, death and disability benefits to employees.

Contributions to the schemes are at rates calculated to cover existing and emerging obligations.

Current contribution rates are 19.3% of salary (CSS) and 11.8% (PSS). An additional 3% is contributed for employer productivity benefits.
