Arts and Cultural Development

Arts and Culture is becoming a significant component for the City of Canada Bay's post-industrial economy. The aim is to re-branding the City, to foster the economic activity which the arts can generate, and to provide a lifestyle that the residents can enjoy embracing the many opportunities that a thriving arts sector can bring.

Council aims to develop an understanding of the cultural needs of the community and to identify and support appropriate services, programs and infrastructure. This will be achieved by consulting residents, artists, social and commercial groups and by identifying key partners such as other levels of Government.

Some of the planned initiatives included the development of:

• A Cultural Plan – a strategic plan for the city
• An Artist Register
• Public Art policy
• Cultural facility identification.
