I am not sure why they have gone they way they have as I find it problematical. We don't have the sheer mass of theatre that other places have to justify splitting into categories. The more categories we have, the more people demand, to have their area of expertise fairly recognised, the more convoluted it all becomes. Not to mention, as Kate rightly points out, the more expensive becomes. I also think they should be named Brisbane awards as that is what they cover. I cannot see a way for regional theatre to be properly recognised under the current structure. I agree that the awards should revert to the old structure.
