Development of the City of Bunbury’s Arts and Culture Strategy

Summary and scope

The City of Bunbury seeks to develop a comprehensive Arts and Culture Strategy to foster a vibrant, inclusive, and sustainable cultural environment. The strategy will be a roadmap guiding the City’s arts and cultural initiatives over five years, ensuring that Bunbury’s creative sector is well-supported and positioned for growth. The City of Bunbury boasts a vibrant and diverse cultural scene, yet it lacks a cohesive strategy to guide the growth and sustainability of arts and culture. Without a clear plan, opportunities to leverage culture and the arts as a driver for social, economic, and cultural development are being missed. A dedicated Arts and Culture Strategy will enable the City to establish a clear direction for cultural development, fostering a creative, connected, and inclusive community, while also positioning Bunbury as a cultural hub in the South West region. Bunbury is home to a diverse population, including a significant and strong First Nations arts presence. The Arts and Culture Strategy will reflect Bunbury’s unique identity and aspirations, providing a platform for celebrating cultural diversity, supporting local artists, and positioning the City as a leader in the South West’s cultural industries Full details of the requirements can be found in the attached Request for Quotation document.
