This strategy will align with the City’s broader Strategic Community and Economic Development plans, ensuring a cohesive vision for the city’s future. The Arts and Culture Strategy will be a crucial document, shaping Bunbury’s arts and culture identity for years to come.

The goal is to further establish Bunbury as leading the way when it comes to being a recognised cultural hub, enhancing its unique identity and fostering a thriving arts scene.

Community engagement is a vital part of developing the Arts and Culture Strategy. The strategy will be shaped by the needs and aspirations of our community, ensuring it accurately reflects the diverse voices within Bunbury.

The engagement process will involve working closely with key groups across the city, including local artists, cultural organisations, community groups, businesses, government agencies, and residents.

Through a variety of tailored engagement methods, we will gather valuable insights and feedback from all stakeholders to ensure the strategy is inclusive and representative of Bunbury's unique cultural landscape.

We encourage all community members to share their ideas, feedback, and suggestions through the online survey, available for the next four weeks.

Keep an eye on our website and social media channels for project updates and additional ways to get involved.
