Brimbank community members are invited to have their say on our draft Arts and Culture Strategy, which outlines how we will support cultural development over the next four years.
The draft strategy is the outcome of extensive discussion, feedback, and research about arts and culture in Brimbank and more broadly across Melbourne and Australia.
It will support the Brimbank community to celebrate, reflect, innovate, learn, challenge and explore who we are and how we live through the full spectrum of creative forms of expression.
We want to hear your thoughts on the five pillars and objectives of our strategy including:
- Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander connections
- Participation
- Partnership, collaboration and contributions
- Creative industries
- Places and spaces
The draft Arts and Culture Strategy 2024-2028 is available on yoursay.brimbank.vic.gov.au and comments must be provided online by 11.59pm on Tuesday 16 April 2024.
These comments will be considered in the preparation of the final document that will be presented to Council for adoption at a future Council Meeting.
