This course aims to build your capacity for effective cultural development planning and in doing so achieve better outcomes for cultural events and/or programs.

Using frameworks developed by the Cultural Development Network, you will learn an evidence-based and outcomes-focussed approach to planning that is consistent and integrated within an organisation's planning activity. You will also learn to evaluate the overall effectiveness of a plan and its activities.

The frameworks offered in this course have been developed within the sector in the context of key national and international policy agendas and are informed by contemporary approaches to planning and governance.

The course focuses on the local government sector but is applicable to anyone seeking to work within a cultural organisation or seek funding for cultural activities.
