Strategic Plan consultation process launched, drafts now online

Screen Tasmania has released for industry comment a Consultation Draft of its five year Strategic Plan and outlines of proposed new funding programs. This is an important stage in the finalisation of the Strategic Plan and input from all areas of the screen industry is welcomed.

Since the independent review of the Tasmanian screen industry, Screen Tasmania has sought industry input as the plan and programs have been developed, and are now seeking final comment before the plan and programs are finalised.
The drafts are available on the Screen Tasmania website, and those wishing to comment on the plan will be invited to do so in writing.

Comments must be received by close of business Friday, 29 April and will be considered in the preparation of a final draft for presentation at an industry forum on Friday, 6 May.

The strategic plan outlines a five year vision of how Screen Tasmania can help support, mentor and grow the Tasmanian screen industry, building on the last ten years of strong growth in a strategic and sustainable way.
The plan recognises Tasmania’s unique strengths, qualities and opportunities in a changing media landscape whilst acknowledging the challenges including the financial pressures being faced by the industry nationwide.
Screen Tasmania’s vision is for an innovative, distinctive and enterprising screen industry, contributing to a vibrant cultural life, with Tasmanian talent and stories in demand throughout the world.
