What is it?
The Waratah-Wynyard Arts and Culture Strategy 2026-2031 sets a clear framework for strengthening arts, culture and heritage across the municipality over the next five (5) years. It takes a broad view of arts and culture (including visual arts, music, performance, literature, storytelling, digital practice and cultural heritage) and positions Council as a facilitator and partner working with community, artists and organisations.
This Strategy is a practical roadmap with actions to enhance facilities, opportunities and experiences, helping build a stronger sense of identity and belonging.
Currently in draft status, Council is seeking your feedback on the proposed strategy.
Why are we doing this?
Arts and culture contribute to community wellbeing, identity, inclusion and economic vitality, helping make Waratah-Wynyard more connected and liveable.
The Strategy also sets out Council’s role in supporting participation, celebrating local stories and strengthening partnerships across the community.
