From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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

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.

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fora but the Cultural Ministers Council was not identified to transition to this new structure and its remit was withdrawn on 30 June 2011.
