Delivering outcomes by 2022

Cairns Regional Council Strategy for Culture and the Arts 2022 will be undertaken through partnerships and collaboration with State and Federal Governments, local industry, the education sector, community-based arts and cultural organisations, and creative individuals.

The five-year strategy will be a cross-Council initiative delivered via a broader annual operational plan, and resourced by capital and operational budgets with strategic linkages to Council’s Corporate Plan.
