MTEF Expenditure trends
The Departments budget grows at an average
annual rate of 13 per cent between 2004/05 and
2007/08, mainly due to additional resources for
capital works, such as developing Freedom Park,
upgrading and maintaining museums and improving
public and community library services. Growth is
sustained over the MTEF period, at an average
annual rate of 12.5 per cent. Growth is affected
by projects such as Freedom Park, which will end

and closing ceremonies, for which funding will
end in 2009/10. Provision for the community
