Creative Industries on the Mid North Coast are a vibrant, growing and diverse sector that contributes to both the economic and social lives of our communities. However, there is currently a lack of qualitative and quantitative data available on the specific size, nature/range of activities, value of and major influences associated with the Mid North Coast creative industries sector.

* Describe the unique characteristics of and major trends in the various components of the creative industries in this region, compared to other similar regions, the State and nationally.
* Assess of the implications of the research findings for the future growth of the creative industries in this region, and identify specific opportunities and strategies for intervention to support this growth.
