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.
