Consultation on this plan has now concluded. Submissions are now being reviewed and prepared for a report to Council.
Port Macquarie-Hastings Council recognises the social and economic benefit of building a vibrant creative arts and cultural community. Our existing cultural program and assets are embraced by our community and attract many visitors to our region. Festivals and events are significant assets on our local calendar, and research indicates that culture and heritage are among our top ten unique tourism selling points.
This Cultural Plan identifies the overarching vision and specific goals, strategies and actions that will drive and support cultural development within our region for the period 2021-2025 and years to come. The Plan is designed to be a “living” document that can evolve with changing times, priorities and trend as needed. The implementation of the future actions identified in this Plan is dependent on their inclusion in Council’s Delivery Program and Annual Operation Plan.
Extensive community engagement was undertaken during the Cultural Economy Project in 2020, which has provided current local data and insights to inform the review of the current Cultural Plan 2018 - 2021 and development of the Draft Cultural Plan 2022 - 2025 by the Cultural Steering Group. Cultural Steering Group members stem from a diverse range of sectors locally: heritage; performing arts; arts; creative industries; education and community arts and writing organisations.
Council now invites the broader community to review the draft plan and provide comment and feedback on the document.
