Date published:

This publication provides new estimates for the economic contribution of cultural and creative activity in Australia. Major revisions were made to the methodology, and to the scope of activities considered to be cultural and creative based on a decision-making framework developed by the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications, and the Arts (the department). BCARR undertook consultation with stakeholders to develop and refine the approach for estimating cultural and creative activity. This publication also sets out the details of this consultation process.
