Page 5 This document also classifies the themes, focus areas and priorities into two categories – pillars and bearers: Figure 3: Pillars and Bearers BEARERS PILLARS PILLARS PILLARS PILLARS BEARERS BEARERS Pillars: key /individual focus areas. Bearers: enablers, contributors, or key factors relevant to the pillars. Some examples of pillars are ‘screen, or ‘tourism’ industries. Examples of bearers include ‘sustainability’ and ‘transport’. However, it is important as this project moves forward that the pillars and bearers are not viewed in isolation, but instead are, as much as possible, viewed as interconnected. This classification system is simply a way to structure and organise documentation into logical segments.
