At the Ordinary Council Meeting on Tuesday 15 October 2024 Council endorsed the Shire of Ravensthorpe 2024-2029 Cultural and Creative Industries Plan.

Recognising the integral role of arts and culture in enhancing community liveability, the plan documents and celebrates the region's unique creative ecosystem and provides a framework to foster its continued flourishing.

This plan serves to document and communicate the following:

Optimised Places: Our community spaces and the imagination of people that fill them with creative life are optimised.

Aligned Culture: Our thinking, traditions, stories and behaviours to past, present future are aligned.

Collaborative Resources: The wisdom, skills and assets we have to create art culture in our community are engaged collaboratively.

The plan recognises the existing “unspoken partnership” between the Shire and its community, acknowledging the distinct and interdependent roles each plays.

Rather than a top-down list of initiatives, the plan focuses on clarifying roles and responsibilities, and provides a framework for ongoing collaboration.

This approach recognises and builds upon the organic cultural growth that has already garnered the Shire nationwide attention for its vibrant cultural community.
