The Shire of Augusta Margaret River Council has pledged $150K in grant funding to be made widely available to the community to support cultural and arts events within the newly redeveloped Hub of Entertainment, Arts and Regional Tourism (Margaret River HEART).The ‘Community Culture and Arts Development Fund’ was endorsed at today’s Ordinary Meeting of Council alongside the recommendation for the Shire to have full management of the facility - paving the way for the future job creation, trainee-ships and volunteering opportunities for the community.With the new $10 million dollar venue set to open its doors in the near future, Shire CEO Stephanie Addison-Brown said the decision reflected Council’s commitment to ensuring social inclusion and accessibility for the whole community“For the first time individuals, schools and community groups will have access to Shire funding to help create a range of events and activities at Margaret River HEART that will really reflect our diverse community.“The grants are an ideal way to harness creativity from members of our community to collectively deliver arts and culture projects at the new state-of the art facility.”The Shire is also keen to deliver an economic return to the community with the introduction of business tourism highlighted as one of the venue’s core activities.
