The Illawarra region has a strong focus on creative industries.
Wollongong City Council is committed to fostering growth in creative industries. The Council recognises that creative occupations, some of which also fall into the professional, scientific and technical services sector, play a key role in the broader vibrancy of Wollongong and underpin the great liveability residents enjoy. Wollongong has a very passionate and active creative community. During the development of Creative Wollongong many people working in these types of jobs expressed concern about having to move out of the area to chase opportunities. Known for its 100 beautiful beaches, abundant wildlife, and boutique food and wine scene, the Shoalhaven is one of the top-visited destinations in Australia, but cultural tourists are in for a treat with the re-imagining of Arthur Boyd’s Bundanon. Arthur Boyd chose the Shoalhaven as his place to live and make work, and his legacy lives on with the new fantastic Bundanon, his gift to the people. Australia’s only regional art museum accompanied by seven delightful art and culture trails, all within 2 hours from Sydney and Canberra. |
