The Government will provide funding of $9.9 million over four years (including $0.6 million expense funding) for the construction and operation of a purpose-built storage facility to house the National Library of Australia’s growing collection and to support the storage requirements of other collection agencies, including the National Archives of Australia. Non-renewal of an existing warehouse lease will lead to savings of $0.1 million per annum from 2006-07 onward.
