JOC Consulting has been commissioned to assist with the development of a new Arts and Creativity Strategy for Northern Beaches Council. The Arts and Creativity Strategy will build on existing initiatives and policy directions from each of the former Councils prior to amalgamation (Manly, Warringah and Pittwater Councils).

The consolidated Arts and Creativity Strategy will connect Council’s Community Strategic Plan (CSP) and the Operational Plans of relevant business units. It will be framed within the overall policy context of the North District Plan (with regard to liveability) as well as key NSW and federal arts policy directions (namely the National Arts and Health Framework; NSW Health and the Arts Framework; NSW Arts and Cultural Policy Framework; NSW Industry Action Plan/Creative Industries).

After working with Warringah Council back in 2014, JOC Consulting is excited to be again working on the Northern Beaches, and assisting in the delivery of this exciting project.
