We're developing a new Creative Strategy to guide the future of creativity, arts, culture, events and activation across our city.

The strategy will build on previous work, including Make, Play, Grow, the Events Strategy and Public Art Strategy, bringing these together into a shared vision for Shellharbour's creative future.

Creativity plays an important role in shaping vibrant places, bringing people together, celebrating local identity and creating memorable experiences for residents and visitors. As our city continues to grow, we're taking the opportunity to explore how creativity can help strengthen our communities, activate our places and support a thriving local economy.

We've already heard a lot from the community through previous engagement. Now we're looking ahead.

We want to understand:

  • What remains important
  • What has changed
  • What opportunities exist for the future
  • How creativity can continue to contribute to a vibrant, connected and liveable Shellharbour

Watch this space for upcoming opportunities to have your say.
