Western Australian Cultural Infrastructure Framework 2030+ Paper

You are required to analyse ONE existing cultural policy document from the list provided below. In addition to considering how the arts & culture are framed in the policy, your analysis should pay particular attention to

(a) the document’s aims, objectives and scope;

(b) the factors driving its development; and

(c) the actual or potential consequences (economic, cultural, social, and political) of its implementation.

In particular, your analysis should consider the assumptions made about arts and culture and how they are being used to brand these local governments/states in particular ways (i.e. what definitions are deployed? What do they presume the role of culture to be in the 21st century?).
