Charters Towers Sets The New Normal For Investment in Arts & Culture

Posted on by
It’s been a little time in the baking but happily Charters Towers Regional Council has now formally adopted a new Arts and Cultural Investment Policy and Plan. The documents outline the vision, direction and priorities for investment arts and cultural development over the next five years. This sits comfortably alongside the other responsibilities of Council as the 4th pillar of community sustainability. It can only be a good thing for the future well-being and prosperity of the community. At the same time Council also adopted a new Public Art Investment Policy. Charters Towers Region is certainly setting the bar for the new normal. Congratulations.

A Creative, Cultural Future for Charters Towers

Posted on by
This week it was back to Charters Towers, one of my favourite regional Queensland centres. Over the next few months I will be working on the new Arts and Cultural Development Policy and Management Plan for the region. This a great opportunity or work with the Council and the community on crafting a plan that will make a measurable contribution to health and well being, quality of place and the cultural tourism experience. There can be a bundle of public benefits arising from this initiative. This place has so much going for it.  So good to be back working in regional Queensland.
