Australia New Zealand Screen Association applauds Australia’s 30 percent location offset increase – The Australia New Zealand Screen Association (ANZSA) applauds the Australian Government’s announcement today to increase the Location Offset from 16.5 percent to 30 percent.
“The Australia New Zealand Screen Association congratulates the Australian Government for recognising how the film, television and streaming industry is a key economic driver which supports jobs, small businesses and tourism,” said Paul Muller, Chief Executive Officer of ANZSA. “Increasing the Location Offset will provide certainty and stability, which is needed to develop screen industry capacity that can support a growing sector”.
A ‘Study on the Impact of Film and Television Production Incentives in Australia’ by Olsberg SPI, commissioned by the ANZSA and the MPA and launched on February 14 in Canberra, found that Australia’s Location Offset, which is critical to attracting major offshore film and television productions to the country, delivered a $5.89 return for every $1 invested through the program.
