Arts and Cultural Development contributes to the well being of the Stonnington Community. It draws from the make-up of the Community and in-turn helps define the ongoing development of the Stonnington Community's identity. Arts and Cultural Development enhances and enriches the Community identity and provides the members of our Community with a sense of place and pride within it.
Council plays a crucial role in creating an environment that encourages arts and cultural activities to flourish. These activities will reflect the identity of our Community; they will also challenge and assist in continually re-defining that identity. The encouragement and development of artistic endeavours is one of the key components that create the Cultural Identity of Stonnington. Many other fields help create that identity including the preservation (and celebration) of built heritage whilst also encouraging innovative design in new construction, whether it be streetscapes, parks and gardens or buildings.
