Arts Hub Debate

Operational Considerations - Stakeholder Engagement

Option 1

Residents supporting Option 1 argue that it is a financially prudent choice that could prevent increases in council rates. They suggest that artists and their organizations should financially contribute to the arts hub, mirroring the funding model used for sports facility upgrades where users share in the costs. This approach is seen as a way to engage stakeholders directly in the funding and management of the arts hub, potentially increasing their commitment and involvement in the project.

849.7	this would be another proposal that can save the council money and reduce rates increases. Alternatively artist and there organisation's could contribute to any cost, just as the sporting codes are contributing to the cost of the sports turf upgrades
