Great Lakes Cultural Plan 2010 - 2015
Cultural Planning provides an opportunity to highlight the uniqueness of a community and the wealth of cultural activities it has to offer as well as encouraging local pride in the area.
Cultural Plans provide a framework to develop cultural activities and are used as a tool to enhance funding opportunities for cultural development.
Developing a cultural plan recognises the important contribution that arts and culture make to the development of the Great Lakes.
This cultural plan is intended to increase the understanding of cultural development, provide a framework for future planning and be achievable.
The Great Lakes Cultural Plan 2010 - 2015 was placed on public exhibition for an extended period of time to enable further input from the community, organisations and individuals involved in cultural development and the arts during 2010.
It should be noted that no attempt to categorically summarise the large number of artistic and cultural activities, events, societies and organisations, was made.
This is a task which is seen to be outside the scope of this Plan.
Instead, the focus of the plan is to provide an overview of the current situation and to highlight opportunities for cultural development.
