The community is invited to provide feedback on a draft creative blueprint for the City of Logan.

Logan City Council’s Arts,Culture and Heritage Strategy 2023-2027 is a commitment to arts, culture and heritage.

The strategy was developed after extensive consultation with Logan residents, community groups, cultural practitioners and other stakeholders.

Feedback on the draft strategy can be lodged via Council’s Have Your Say platform from Tuesday, February 28, until Sunday, April 2.

City of Logan Mayor Darren Power said arts, culture and heritage played an important role in the fabric of the community.

“A community that values its creativity and heritage knows itself and its strengths,” Cr Power said.

“Embracing those strengths will help us face future challenges, embrace new ideas, and create a proud, connected and healthy city.”

City Lifestyle Committee Chair, Councillor Laurie Koranski, said the strategy provided a foundation for Council, together with the community, to support the sustainable growth of Logan’s creative industries over the next four years.

“This will allow us to take advantage of the extraordinary opportunities ahead for our region,” Cr Koranski said.

The draft strategy responds to community aspirations through five priorities – Build and develop, Inspire and engage, Activate places and spaces, Partner and collaborate and Communicate and celebrate.
