Strategic Summary Wollongong is increasingly recognised as a great place to live, be educated, work and raise a family. This is currently Wollongong’s major advantage. • Creative industries workers are an essential part of Wollongong’s economy, which has prospered because of proximity to Sydney and regional geography. • Many of Wollongong’s creative workers develop skills in Sydney’s international metropolitan hub while enjoying the culture and lifestyle opportunities of Wollongong and the broader Illawarra region. • Creative industries professionals have moved into the region seeking affordable housing and family-friendly communities to raise children. Wollongong has a diverse creative scene ranging from the alternative to the corporate. In 2016, 3,624 people earnt their primary income in the creative industries, an average increase of 2.4% each year since 2011. • Key growth areas for the creative services sub-sector of the creative industries are architecture and design, advertising and marketing, web design, software app development and games. • The cultural production sub-sector of the creative industries has a lively music scene, with an active night-time economy, a supportive network of published writers, a well-patronised radio network and a regional television news network headquarters. • Wollongong’s night-time economy is supported by visual and performing arts events and activities through galleries, theatres, libraries and museums. • Wollongong’s local entrepreneurs have made their mark in the creative industries. Many were raised and educated in the region, while others have moved in. • Wollongong has maintained a balance between traditional creatives and newer tech-oriented operatives, and most have local, national and international suppliers and clients. Cultural production, primarily arts, heritage and culture, contributed $46.1 million to the region in 2016-17, according to the Wollongong City Council Creative Wollongong 2019-2024 strategic plan. • The Council has been proactive in ensuring the heart of the city has been activated by cultural production activities. Wollongong Final Report 17 July 2020 • Strategies to support creative industries have been created by the Council and other agencies, to support the workforce, small to medium enterprises, and corporate players. • Strategic support for the creative industries has been stimulated by local and state government grants and, to a lesser extent, federal government grants. The supply of relevant and necessary infrastructure, of all types, by federal, state and local governments, keeps confidence high in these industries. • Local government provides buildings with co-working, studio and gallery spaces to support cultural production. • The NSW Government supplies grants to stimulate activity within cultural production. • The Federal Government is important to building critical infrastructure, particularly the National Broadband Network, which is now crucial for all commerce. All creative employment, whether it is specialist, support or embedded, is essential for the creative industries ecosystem to thrive in the region. • Creative industry workers are in small businesses and large national corporations, working as embedded creatives (40%), specialist creatives (29%) and support workers (30%). • Embedded creatives working in mining and health use the same software and skills as specialist creatives working as freelancers or sub-contractors with small to medium enterprises and national corporates. • Support workers are essential, as they link the creative industries ecosystem, which is highly interdependent and dynamic, to the rest of the economy. • Amateurs are able to move to pro-am and professional status, indicating a creative industries sector providing career development opportunities. The creative industries, as a whole, have been able to support and take part in other forms of critical entrepreneurial activity within the broader economy. • Wollongong City Council has worked constructively with institutional enablers to put together Invest Wollongong, a partnership between the Council, the NSW Government, the University of Wollongong, and the Business Chamber. • iAccelerate, a business incubator at the Innovation Campus, has activated innovative and entrepreneurial start-up opportunities for all industries. It exemplifies how multiple channels of funding and cooperation between state and local government, the tertiary sector and business chamber, can benefit the region. • Not-for-profit social enterprises offer embedded creatives entrepreneurial opportunities within budding local businesses. Recommendations Continue to brand Wollongong and the Illawarra region as a highly liveable location for creatives. Proximity to Sydney is an attractor for national and international creative businesses. • Inform and educate all government instrumentalities about the breadth of Wollongong’s creative industries. • Recommend to all levels of government that a determination be made as to whether Wollongong is ‘metropolitan’ or ‘regional’. • Accelerate the ongoing diversification of the broader economy through the creative industries. • Celebrate the cultural diversity in Wollongong and amplify this through the creative industries. • Ensure digital infrastructure continues to be affordable and accessible to all creative industries operatives as they trade locally, nationally and globally. • Continue to streamline bureaucratic processes, particularly at Council level, for the creative industries in toto.

    e-Review of Tourism Research (eRTR), Vol. 18, 1, 2020 http://ertr.tamu.edu Dr. Edmund Goh Edith Cowan University, Australia Email: [email protected] Emerging Scholar Profile My name is Dr Edmund Goh. This is my personal reflection as an emerging scholar. Currently, I am a Senior Lecturer in Hospitality and Tourism Management, School of Business and Law, Edith Cowan University, Australia. I obtained my Master by Research (Goh, 2007) from the University of Wollongong in 2007 under the principal supervision of Professor Sara Dolnicar and PhD (Goh, 2015a) from the University of Queensland, Australia in 2015 under the principal supervision of Professor Brent Ritchie. I am immensely grateful to both supervisors who have been great role models and mentors in helping shape my research career as an emerging scholar. Both mentors have always set the bar high and only expect the best and nothing less. This basic principle has anchored into my research career to strive for research excellence through impactful quality research. The decision to embark on a PhD journey was one of the greatest things that happened in my life. It can be best described as a bittersweet vicarious feeling of being overly ambitious of trying to solve all world problems in 80,000 words. At the beginning, I was not fully aware of the intensity and discovery of knowledge involved in gaining such an understanding would entail. As the PhD journey progressed, little did I realised how much I didn’t know, and the inflated confidence started to create self-doubt. This is where good supervision and critical reflections are essential.

It has retail and commercial offerings, civic and government services catering for the local community, and tourism functions. The Nowra Centre supports 9,200 jobs, concentrated in health care (2,600 jobs), retail (1,650) and public administration (1,100). Major employers include Shoalhaven City Council and the Shoalhaven District Memorial Hospital. Planning for the growth of the health care sector in Nowra will help to diversify and strengthen the Centre. Shoalhaven City Council is already working to renew and revitalise the Centre to encourage new business opportunities through the: • CBD Urban Design Masterplan; • Nowra CBD height and floor space ratio planning controls; and • Nowra CBD Revitalisation Strategy. The priorities are to increase public transport use, better integrate walkways and cycleways, improve pedestrian connections across the highway, and better integrate recreational uses around the Shoalhaven River and the commercial activity in the Centre. As Nowra Centre grows it will be important to coordinate local and State infrastructure. The NSW Government will: • coordinate State agency input into precinct planning activities; and • identify Shoalhaven District Memorial Hospital’s capacity for growth, and consider opportunities to accommodate future expansion. Nowra CBD Revitalisation Strategy Committee 28 July 2016 - Item 1 Attachment “B” Nowra CBD Revitalisation National Stronger Regions, Round 3, Grant Application - Overview The project will address a number of social issues and support economic opportunities through a program of infrastructure and assets renewal to improve the amenity, function and long term future of the Nowra CBD.

  • No. 420 Illawarra Folk Festival
    Submission No 420 INQUIRY INTO THE MUSIC AND ARTS ECONOMY IN NEW SOUTH WALES Organisation: Illawarra Folk Festival Date Received: 2 July 2018 Legislative Council The Music and Arts Economy in NSW Introducing the Illawarra Folk Club, presenters of Folk Music in the Illawarra The Illawarra Folk Club Inc was established in 1979 as a not for profit organisation and has over this time run fortnightly Folk Music concerts in central Wollongong and throughout the Illawarra. We have run 33 annual Folk Festivals since 1986, initially at Jamberoo which we outgrew. The current version of the Illawarra Folk Festival attracts an aggregate 10,000 people with up to 12 stages over 4 days. It runs in January every year at the Bulli Raceway GBOTA site, the adjoining Bulli Showground and the Bulli Grevillia Park. This Festival attracts about 1500 on site campers and 400 volunteers giving a total of 5,000 hours of free help. The event puts $1.5 million into the local economy. We believe that this festival is the largest volunteer run festival in Australia In addition to the Illawarra Folk Festival we ran for a number of years a small one day festival on the Jamberoo to Robertson Road and since 2012 we also have run the smaller Folk by the Sea Festival at the Kiama Showground and Church Point precinct of Kiama. This event attracts 2,000 people over the 3 days including about 150 campers. Both events include a festival licensed bar. Both our festivals are wrist band entry only, for a day or for the entire festival.
