TOWARDS A CREATIVE AUSTRALIA

The future of the arts, film and design

The Australian Government is committed to promoting a national culture of creativity, innovation and enterprise. The Government is committed to examining new forms of advancing the arts, film and creative design across Australia, including urban design. The Government is also committed to examining how best we deploy our national and international broadcasting capabilities, both to enhance Australia’s creative industries, technologies and expertise – as well as promote a new, modern and innovative Australia to the rest of the region and beyond.

The Australia 2020 [1] Summit [2] will examine:

• Future directions for Australia’s principal arts bodies
• Future directions for the ABC, SBS, Australia Television and Radio Australia
• How best to develop a globally innovative and competitive film industry
• How to encourage participation in emerging global industries such as game design, the internet 2.0, graphics-rich applications and animation
• How we build on the creative sector’s potential as a major Australian export industry.
