What’s on at the Hub of the Hills
in March
It is an excellent time to be making this effort, as the Albanese government has recently launched its national cultural policy, entitled “Revive” .
To this end, on Monday 20 February I hosted Minister for the Arts, Tony Burke at the Hasluck Arts Roundtable at the Midland Town Hall.
It was well attended by artists and arts groups from our local area and further afield, including Katharine Susannah Prichard Writers' Centre, Mundaring Arts Centre, Darlington Arts Festival, Screen West, and Darlington Theatre Players.
Minister Burke has stated of the policy that :
“Revive will empower our talented artists and arts organisations to thrive and grow – unlocking new opportunities, reaching new audiences and telling stories in compelling new ways.”
The new approach sees the Australia Council retained within a new body called Creative Australia, with additional funding of $200 million.

I have made it part of my brief to ensure that our artists have a voice and a representative in the East.
With Revive in place I am excited for the future for the arts in Hasluck and WA.
