Council puts events at the forefront
Council has adopted a strategic approach to planning and delivering quality events in the City of Victor Harbor.
The City of Victor Harbor's Culture Strategy – Festivals and Events outlines a range of goals for the next five years, including building capacity for event planning, creating and activating places through the delivery of events, and increasing participation in the local events calendar.
It builds upon the work that is already underway to grow major events, and sees Council transition to a role where it can facilitate events rather than manage them. Environmentally friendly events and winter events have also been given consideration within the Strategy.
