The Arts, Culture, Heritage and Creative Industries sector plays an important role in creating a vibrant, diverse and interesting community for residents and visitors alike.
As well as enriching the experiences of our daily life, the sector plays an important role in our economic development through employment, entertainment and tourism.
We have developed a co-ordinated approach to combine resources rather than compete for them so that other organisations in the creative sector are able to plan for the future.
The result of this co-ordinated approach is our Arts, Culture and Heritage Policy which was adopted by Council in April 2009. To read a summary and the full version of the policy, follow the link below.
