The draft Central City Plan is out! To have a look at it and find out how it affects you, go to http://www.centralcityplan.org.nz/.
Along with other sectors, the Plan talks about the arts and arts projects, especially in the City Life chapter. We’re working hard to develop a submission that reflects your ideas and projects, so the arts can be front and centre in our new city.
To find out more, you can go to:
- The City Council briefings about the plan.
- Our meetings after the Council briefings, telling you how we’ll present a submission on your behalf, and getting your feedback.
