Queenstown Lakes District Council have teamed up with the Three Lakes Cultural Trust to develop an Arts, Culture and Heritage Strategy for our district with the help of the local community. 

 

THIS SURVEY IS NOW CLOSED.  

A well-informed strategy will help set a shared vision and commitment to arts, culture and heritage in the Queenstown Lakes District. It will guide what should be preserved, maintained, celebrated, and will outline a roadmap of what we need to do to achieve this. 

Recently, we captured valuable input from the local community during six district-wide hui. If you didn't manage to get along to one of the hui, there is still an opportunity to join the conversation and let us know what arts, culture and heritage mean to you. 

We are keen to hear from all the different voices across the district regardless of your level of involvement in the arts, culture or heritage scene. 

Have your say by 5pm, Sunday 30 July 2023.
