As adopted by Council on 28 February 2013 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. Page 6
As adopted by Council on 28 February 2013 1. Introduction Culture encompasses imaginative, intellectual and artistic activity by individuals, groups and communities. It is through culture that people interpret their experiences, and express their ideas. For the purposes of this policy, the term “culture” includes but is not limited to: arts – music, performing arts, literature, film and visual arts creative industries – businesses selling products and services often with significant design and media elements 1 ; language – specifically Aboriginal languages and community languages; community celebrations – such as Curry Fest and Harmony Day; built environment – the human designed aspects of the places where we live; and heritage and history – memories, traditions and experiences, sometimes expressed in objects, documents or stories. Coffs Harbour enjoys an active and diverse cultural life. In a world that is increasingly competing for skilled residents and tourists, Coffs Harbour needs to build on its strengths in its people, location, and resources. Developing the capacity and furthering the depth of our cultural life, grows the attractiveness of Coffs Harbour for both residents and visitors. The Coffs Harbour 2030 Plan (the 2030 Plan) outlines the key steps to allow the community to achieve its goals for the quality of life of present and future residents. These goals range across many areas of community life, consolidating around the ideas of sustainability, social justice and social and economic progress. In 2008, after extensive community consultation, Council endorsed the 2030 Plan as its map for the future of Coffs Harbour. In line with the 2030 Plan, the new Cultural Policy and Cultural Plan will: 1) guide the cultural development of Coffs Harbour; 2) articulate the roles of the community and the Council in that development; and 3) establish priorities for community and Council action 2013-2016. The Cultural Policy (the Policy) and the Cultural Plan (the Plan) will help the Council and the community to integrate and focus their efforts in significant areas which enhance the quality of people’s lives through: • creative expression; 1 For a detailed definitions of “arts” and “creative industries” please see Attachment B Page 7
