Project background:

Australian cultural and creative activity: A population and hotspot analysis is an Australian Research Council Linkage project (LP160101724) being undertaken by QUT and the University of Newcastle, in partnership with Arts Queensland, Create NSW, Creative Victoria, Arts South Australia and the Western Australian Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries.

This comprehensive project aims to grasp the contemporary dynamics of cultural and creative activity in Australia. It brings together population-level and comparative quantitative and qualitative analyses of local cultural and creative activity. The project will paint a complete national picture, while also exploring the factors that are producing local and regional creative hotspots.

Creative hotspots for study were selected in consultation with state research partners:

Queensland – Cairns, Sunshine Coast + Noosa, Gold Coast, Central West Queensland
New South Wales – Coffs Harbour, Marrickville, Wollongong, Albury
Victoria – Geelong + Surf Coast, Ballarat, Bendigo, Wodonga
Western Australia – Geraldton, Fremantle, Busselton, Albany + Denmark
South Australia – to be confirmed shortly

Statistical summaries drawn from a diverse range of data sources including the Australian Census, the Australian Business Register, IP Australia registration data, infrastructure availability lists and creative grants and rights payments as well as our fieldwork, inform hotspot reports.
