Consultation has concluded

At Port Macquarie-Hastings Council’s Ordinary Council Meeting held on 15 June 2023, Council resolved to place the Draft Interpretation Policy on exhibition for a period of 28 days.

Council recognises and acknowledges the important social, historical and cultural significance of interpretation in telling the story of our place and our community. Presently no policy, strategy or guidelines exist for use by Council or community to ensure a consistent process and approach is followed for new interpretation in our region. The Interpretation Policy was developed to inform the Interpretation Strategy and Guidelines which will ensure a transparent and standard assessment is followed for all formal applications received for any interpretation associated with the regions stories and rich cultural heritage.

The objectives of the Interpretation Policy are to:

  • Assist Council staff and community members to maintain a visually engaging style for interpretation in any public spaces across the region that aligns with Councils cultural vision ‘to be creative, inclusive, diverse, innovative and connected’ (Cultural Plan 2021 - 2025).
  • Ensure a transparent and standard assessment is followed for all interpretation requests and applications.
