  • OBJECTIVE 2: Increase participation in arts and creative sectors.
  • OBJECTIVE 3: Stimulate connection to community, through the development of works and/or activities that explore the identity of the Parramatta region.
  • OBJECTIVE 4: Encourage growth and increase the value of the creative sector to the Parramatta community, culture and economy.
  • OBJECTIVE 5: Foster innovation and contribute to the growth of the arts and creative sectors.

'Professional groups or organisations' are those employing qualified staff at the appropriate award rate. They would usually have an appropriately qualified administrator or director.
