We delivered high-quality and challenging opportunities for public interaction with creative, environmental, and social practices, providing life enhancing experiences that empowered and enabled the diverse communities we serve.We maintained and expanded partnerships of mutual benefit with local organisations, schools, colleges, universities, and private sector providers, adding value and creating capacity for economic growth and social wellbeing. We acted as a leading community authority, drawing upon our regional, national, and international connections in a local context through our activities, cultural resources, and knowledge transfer.
