About the Plan
Council’s Cultural Plan 2020-2030 and Community Strategic Plan 2040 both recognise the key role that public art plays in creating a thriving, innovative, connected and inclusive community; by creating a sense of place, supporting our arts and creative community, providing opportunities to connect with others and enhancing our public spaces.
