This consultation has now closed. Thank you for providing feedback.
What is your vision for a future Noosa Regional Gallery?
Noosa Council is seeking community engagement and input as part of a feasibility study process that will develop a vision for what Noosa Regional Gallery might be in the future.
In 2020 Council engaged Outside the Square Creative Consulting (OTSCC) to undertake Stage 1 of a Pre-Feasibility Study, resulting in an Assessment of Service Requirement for Noosa Regional Gallery. This assessment, along with earlier reviews of the existing Noosa Regional Gallery, have found that it no longer meets the necessary standards or community expectations of a contemporary gallery. Council is therefore exploring the feasibility of a number of options to either build a new Noosa Regional Gallery or expand or upgrade the existing Gallery. As part of this Stage 2 process it is important to Council to listen to the community's views about this important cultural asset.
OTSCC has again been engaged by Council to undertake Stage 2 of the Pre-Feasibility Study. It includes:
Community consultation to discuss and refine previous study findings and recommendations and;
A detailed options analysis to discuss and recommend where a new gallery should be developed, what this would mean for the services and any impact on costs, risks and benefits for the community.
There will be a range of opportunities for the community to engage in this process including:
attending one of two Gallery ‘Big Ideas’ Summits. Good plans need big ideas and we would like you and/or your organisation to be part of a lively and thought-provoking discussion on the exciting opportunities for Noosa Regional Gallery’s future.
attending one of four Community Conversations – an opportunity for Noosa residents and friends to tell us about your ideas for the future of the gallery. Join members of our team for an informal chat and information session in a hub near you
We’d like to hear what you think about what we’ve found so far and what you think should happen from here.
