VISION
To foster and support arts and cultural development within Central Coast, and to
ensure that the art and cultural assets held by our cultural institutions are accessible
to all.
The Council encourages the growth of arts and culture initiatives as part of an
integrated response to the ongoing development and promotion of Central Coast as a
unique and thriving community that offers a wide range of opportunities and benefits
to current and intending residents and visitors. Active community participation and
engagement in arts and cultural activities is encouraged and the importance of
fostering innovation and excellence is also recognised.
ARTS AND CULTURE
Arts and culture encompasses all forms of creative practice and artistic and cultural
expression and activity. This includes but is not limited to visual art, music, dance,
writing, craft, theatre, media art, multi-arts, design, public art, events, festivals,
exhibitions, community cultural development and preservation of knowledge, stories,
heritage and collections.
‘Culture’ means different things to different people and the word itself has many
contexts. It can be used to describe a sub-group or experience (skate culture); a
shared set of values and way of doing things (team culture); and to evoke ancient
civilisations (Indigenous culture). Sometimes ‘culture’ signifies a community’s beliefs,
heritage and distinct characteristics and other times it is used to mean ballet, theatre,
sculpture – ‘the arts’.
The United Nations Education Scientific Cultural Organisation’s (UNESCO) definition of
culture provides a useful touchstone:
“…the set of distinctive spiritual, material, intellectual and emotional features
of a society or a social group, that encompasses not only art and literature, but
lifestyles, ways of living together, value systems, traditions and beliefs.”
UNESCO, 2001
This strategy does not seek to limit the term ‘culture’, instead it encourages our
artists, residents and visitors to explore what ‘culture’ means to them.
What do we consider ‘cultural activity?
Cultural activity includes but is not limited to, visual and performing arts, music,
museums and galleries, history and heritage including the natural environment,
Indigenous culture, craft, libraries, literature, publishing, digital and new media,
design, architecture, food, film, fashion, television and radio.
This definition of cultural activity reflects the cultural domains defined in UNESCO’s
Framework for Cultural Statistics 2009.

INTRODUCTION
Central Coast is proud of our artists and our arts and cultural organisations. The
Council is committed to partnering with them to facilitate activities and assist them as
they explore, create and challenge us to see the world and ourselves differently.
Arts and culture can play a vital role in supporting community cohesion and wellbeing,
and generate community pride as well as fostering economic development and tourist
visitation.
Arts and cultural programs enhance the liveability of towns and rural areas and help to
build a positive image of Central Coast for residents and visitors alike.
The Council will work to ensure that our artistic and cultural assets held and created
by our arts and cultural institutions are accessible to the broad community.
This Strategy will also outline actions the Council can undertake to build and sustain
fruitful and collaborative relationships with our arts and culture organisations and
individuals, understanding that strong relationships provide the best foundation for
building the arts and culture offering in the Central Coast, which stands to benefit not
only the local population but builds value that is economic, cultural and social.
The ways in which individuals engage with arts and culture is deeply personal, whether
from an audience or creative perspective and the Council will endeavour to support
those institutions that work actively to offer opportunities to the community to
participate in artistic endeavour.
In addition to the contribution of employment and products of the creative industries,
there are significant economic benefits to be gained from cultural activities such as
cultural festivals and events.
It is intended that the Central Coast Arts and Culture Strategy be oriented to provide a
framework to support the development of arts and culture in Central Coast through
Council and community partnerships. It is fundamentally a guide for the delivery of
Council services and Council support to ensure that there is a whole-of-Council
response to community cultural development.

ROLES FOR COUNCIL
The Council encourages and supports community involvement in, and appreciation of,
a wide range of arts and cultural activities at all levels. This is achieved through

recognises the contribution that an active arts scene makes to the vibrancy of our
community.
The Council’s intention is to create an environment where a range of individuals and
community groups can prosper and develop their potential. The Council aims to

would provide opportunities for a range of performance art, ephemeral and installation
works music performance.
Rethinking and revitalising our arts and culture infrastructure
Cultural infrastructure enables the people of, and visitors to Central Coast to access
many art forms. Arts and cultural facilities are essential for creation and presentation
of works by artists and cultural workers. The Council will scope opportunities to renew
and develop further our cultural infrastructure and ensure we have sound business
cases for development, prioritising opportunities with the potential to deliver the
greatest impact for the people of Central Coast.
Activating the use of other Council facilities
The Council has a rich and diverse range of facilities that could be better utilised for
cultural activities.
In addition to the Civic Centre, Outdoor Entertainment Centre, Gnomon Pavilion,
History Museum, and the Ulverstone Sport and Leisure Centre, the Council has local
halls which can be better utilised for arts and cultural activities, and the Council will
work to encourage and promote community usage of all Council facilities, including
those not normally associated with arts and cultural activities.

Nurturing creativity
The Council will work collaboratively with other Councils and government bodies (Arts
Tasmania, Tasmanian Regional Arts) to facilitate creative industry development forums
and to acknowledge the importance of creative industries as a driver of innovation and
change. Arts and culture is a potentially significant sector for increased employment
opportunities and contributing to the Central Coast economy.

through the facilitation of programs and forums, assist Central Coast artists to make
their practice, or organisation more sustainable.
Showcase arts and culture

collaborative opportunities and approaches with a view to development, growth and
sustainability.
