Per capita I have to say that there is a great deal going on in the Gladstone Region in the realm of arts and culture. With the new Arts and Cultural Plan now taking shape I reckon there could be a whole lot more happening in the years to come. Look forward to heading back up there shortly to present the work in progress and get some feedback. No doubt arts and culture is poised to play a key role in the vitality and liveability of this beautiful part of the world. Opposite is a snapshot of just some of the fine public art that garnishes the character of the region.
