[Forum] Having just read and reread the 2020-2025 Cultural Plan as outlined in Coast Communituy News Edition 232, to my disappointment, it’s vacuous verbiage.
I quote part of same: “Enlivening our cultural spaces and place will be achieved by ensuring arts and cultural festivals encompass regional creativity and meaning of places and activating public spaces with arts, performance and creative programming…”.
FoPAP. (Friends of the Performing Arts Precinct), theatre groups, musicians, artists and community groups, have spent past decades lobbying, writing, visiting every Arts Minister, local and state politicians, urging and supporting the community demand for a regional performing arts concert space to meet such criteria.
Remember the Gosford Challenge, The Charettes, to what avail?
Promises, promises, and now we have more promises, the progress of the Plan.
Will it be reviewed in 5 years?
