Consultation
The Draft Creative Burwood Strategy 2025-2035 sets out a ten-year vision for arts and culture in Burwood.
“By 2035, Burwood is renowned as Sydney’s Cultural Playground - a leading destination for distinct and dynamic arts and cultural experiences with global reach.
We celebrate diverse stories, nurture local talent, and create pathways that fuel our city's cultural life and grow our creative economy.
As we evolve, we remain committed to pushing creative boundaries, fostering meaningful connections, and embracing unconventional opportunities to engage new audiences and ensure everyone can participate.”
The Draft Strategy identifies three priorities to strategically guide our work over the next ten years:
- FOCUS AREA 1: Cultural Infrastructure
- FOCUS AREA 2: Creative Economy and Practice
- FOCUS AREA 3: Creative Experiences and Stories
The Strategy has been informed following an in-depth audit of Burwood’s cultural assets, with key findings summarised in the Creative Burwood Snapshot 2024 (available to the right), and extensive community consultation.
If you have feedback about any aspect of the Draft Strategy we encourage you to submit by 14 May 2025 using the online form below.
