Draft Coffs Harbour Cultural Plan 2013 - 2016 - Coffs Harbour City ...

Agenda - Ordinary Meeting 22 November 2012 - CITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT REPORTS
Attachment 3
in Coffs Harbour does not indicate that there is the supply of performance product or the
demand from the community to justify the level of investment which would be required.
Major identified strategies include:
Improved marketing and information resources and co-ordination aimed at both
tourists and residents;
Development of functional specifications for expanded Regional Art Gallery, City
Library, and Aboriginal cultural facilities;
Establishment of a film society;
Increased opportunities for local artists to perform or exhibit;
Integration of art and design elements into the built environment;
Increased opportunities for networking and skills development for those working in
the creative industries; and
Expanded opportunities, for young people and seniors in particular.
Careful consideration of the appropriate role or roles for Council is important when working
out how to achieve cultural goals. Few can be achieved by Council alone. Rather, many
organisations and people will need to work together to achieve the best results for Coffs
Harbour.
