Draft Arts and Culture Strategy for Whangarei: 2018 - 2028

In March, April and May of this year Creative Northland undertook a public consultation to Develop a 10 year Whangarei Arts and Culture Strategy to help Whangarei District Council understand the priorities of the Whangarei Arts & Culture community which has resulted in a 30 page Draft Strategy and a 9-page Summary Document.

On the 11th of September, the draft strategy was presented to the WDC Funding Committee. It was then presented again on the 27th September to a full Council meeting. One recommendation was that before Elected Members adopt the strategy that a workshop takes place. Councillors would discuss and debate the draft, enabling any necessary changes so that the final strategy is truly owned by the Council.

With that in mind, Creative Northland needs to do the same with you the community who have provided us with the content to create this 10-year strategy. We want to know, does the data we have gathered, articulate well enough the needs, aspirations and resources required to grow Whangarei's creative economy?

To achieve this, there are 8 questions to be answered, which will be analysed and shared with Council to refine the final strategy document.
