Draft Arts and Culture Strategy released for Southern Grampians

Draft Arts and Culture Strategy released for Southern Grampians
September 16, 2022

Southern Grampians Shire Council recognises that having a strong arts culture is vital to the health and wellbeing of their community and as such Council has released its draft Arts and Culture Strategy 2022 – 2026 for community exhibition.

The draft Strategy will guide Council and community in the planning, development and promotion of arts and cultural facilities, initiatives, programs and services, and aligns directly with the current Council Plan.

Southern Grampians Shire Council Mayor Bruach Colliton said the Arts and Culture Strategy has been developed based upon extensive community and stakeholder consultation.

Mayor Colliton notes “the draft Strategy really focuses on those key values which emerged during the consultation process including First Peoples First; Activity and Engagement; Access and Inclusion; Creative Spaces; Place Making; and Information and Awareness.

“Arts and Cultural experiences brings us together whether that be for exhibitions or live performances, showcases spaces of innovation, and importantly provide jobs for locals whilst also celebrating our regional heritage.

“Council has significantly increased its investment in the Arts and Culture space over the last few years with an ongoing commitment of planning for a new Hamilton Gallery, investment in infrastructure renewal and upgrades, improving access, and the continued investment towards the development of our art collection through acquisitions.

“The draft Strategy includes key measurable outcomes that will allow us to deliver on those key priorities as featured in our 2021-2025 Council Plan.”

The Arts and Culture Strategy replaces the previous Arts and Culture Strategic Plan 2014.

The draft Strategy will remain out until 14th October 2022. Community members can view and provide feedback on the draft Arts and Culture Strategy
