Quotes from the Minister for Multicultural Affairs, Kate Worden:
"Here in the Territory we have a proud multicultural community, which this Territory Government wants to help expand and grow.
"Providing opportunities for these communities to celebrate and showcase their culture for all to enjoy and learn from is essential to social inclusion.
"Creating more events in the Territory and renovations to existing spaces means more jobs for Territorians and support for local business, while also promoting and expanding our multicultural events calendar."
