Cooktown and the Cape – Special.
Looking for an adventure? Cooktown and the Cape is a must do. Happily the A&C Plan is now done and dusted. A special part of Australia.
Back in the Burdekin
Back in the Burdekin Shire on the arts, cultural and heritage planning trail. Phase 3: Community Consultation. Many people doing great things for the Shire. Inspiring. #burdekinshire
Happy Return To The Towers
Happy return to the Charters Towers Region last week – quintessential North Queensland country. Along with some RADF training and a workshop on Creative Collaboration, one of the main reasons for my visit was to do some research on how to more effectively promote locally produced cultural activities and events to residents and visitors in the region. This is an issue which arose out of the consultation process for the Arts & Cultural Investment Plan – and one that is a challenge for most of the regions I visit. Already some interesting feedback which will help to shape a fresh planned approach to community communications. So good to be back on the road. Thanks CTRC for the opportunity – and Earl for the painting!
A New Cultural Vitality for Innisfail
Always a joy to visit the Cassowary Coast – even if it’s just for a couple of nights and a really busy day. The newly established umbrella arts and cultural Association ‘Innisfail Creative’s Inc’ needs a strategic business plan to guide its direction and sustainable development. This visit was all about community engagement and in one day we managed to fit in two public meetings and a number of separate stakeholder consultation sessions – before adjourning to the delightful Sapore Di Italia for a debrief, pasta and little red. A successful journey and the start of a new cultural vitality for Innisfail. Thanks to ICI, 4KZ’s Gazza and the Cassowary Coast Regional Council.
