Arts and Culture Action Plan focus areas

The Arts and Culture Action Plan identifies four priorities:

  • Acknowledge and Celebrate Aboriginal voices and stories, communities, cultural expression, and creativity.
  • Supporting arts and cultural activity, participation and creative experience for the whole community 
  • Fostering a resilient creative sector committed to climate consciousness and ecological sustainability 
  • Nurturing, amplifying and supporting our artistic and creative industries — makers, artists and communities.
