Did you Know? Burdekin Shire Council

Did you know that the Burdekin Shire Council has an Arts and Cultural Strategy 2021-2030 to support the vitality and diversity of arts and culture in the region?

The Arts and Cultural Strategy 2021-2030 strategy is based on contemporary cultural planning principles and is informed by evidence and community values. It aims to promote a cultural vitality that will enrich the liveability and appeal of the Burdekin Shire and is designed to integrate with other Council planning mechanisms and be consistent with overarching community values. 

The strategy consists of five strategic themes: Creative Communities, Cultural Vitality, Animated Places and Spaces, Connectivity and Sustainability and Heritage, Identity and Sense of Place. It outlines a series of actions, outcomes and indicators for each theme, as well as a monitoring and evaluation framework. This plan is for the whole community. It embraces the diversity of the region irrespective of geography, age, ability, gender and cultural or social-economic background. It respects the past, acknowledges the present and looks to the future.

The strategy is supported by the Regional Arts Development Fund, a Queensland Government and Burdekin Shire Council partnership to support local arts and culture in regional Queensland. You can view the strategy online by visiting Burdekin Shire Council’s website burdekin.qld.gov.au.
