Creative and prosperous city strategy

From film to theatre, games to software, music to media, advertising to architecture, Port Phillip's $2.3 billion Cultural and Creative sector is our second largest industry, driving economic growth and supporting jobs for 3,870 Port Phillip residents and 5,830 greater Melbourne residents.

    You can still contact us during this period and we’ll resume regular operation on Monday 26 October.

The art and soul - creative and prosperous city strategy 

The Art and Soul - Creative and Prosperous City Strategy outlines the cultural change and collaborative actions required over four years across a range of Council to create a thriving social, cultural and economic future for the City of Port Phillip. These services include:

  • arts
  • culture and heritage
  • economic development and tourism
  • festivals
  • libraries

The Strategy looks to harness the creativity of the City of Port Phillip and will seek to achieve this by creating a City of dynamic and distinctive places and precincts. Through this we will build a prosperous City that connects and grows business, as well as bring arts, culture and creative expression to everyday life and contributing to Melbourne’s liveability.
