Arts and culture

Woollahra is an area rich in cultural activity, with a large percentage of residents expressing an interest in cultural events and programs.  In response to this interest, the Woollahra Cultural Plan was adopted in 2003.  This plan details the opportunities to improve the cultural life of Woollahra residents.

Cultural development is those actions which contribute to cultural vitality and, therefore, involves many Council functions, including community services, facilities, parks and recreation, urban and landscape design, heritage conservation, planning and development controls.

Our goal is to facilitate culture to make an effective contribution to local identity, community spirit and to economic growth, providing increased benefits for Woollahra residents, workers and visitors.

The continuation and development of programs including NAIDOC Week and Reconciliation Week activities, Poets' Picnic, the Woollahra Small Sculpture Prize, the Writers and Readers series, and the development of policies and strategies will enhance cultural activity occurring in Woollahra.
