March 2008 Community Forum

The March 2008 Community Forum will be held at:

7.30pm, Tuesday 18 March 2008
Community Room, upstairs Belconnen Library
Chandler Street, Belconnen

As regular Belconnen Community Council attendees are probably aware, in late 2006 there was a push to set up a BCC subcommittee which would look at how best to support the need of Belconnen region artists. This subcommittee was called the Belconnen and Northern Arts Network ACT, or BANANA.

Unfortunately, after a strong start the committee experienced some difficulties and has not met in some time.

However, now that the Belconnen Arts Centre is definitely going ahead (in fact, it is due for completion in 2009!), it is an appropriate time to re-visit the concept and talk about:

• how to re-establish BANANA as a viable and active support group
• what the goals and aims of BANANA should be
• what lessons were learnt from BANANA (take 1)
• how BANANA can play a role in ensuring a vibrant and active Arts Centre

Anyone with an enthusiast or professional interest in the arts in the Belconnen region is encouraged to attend.

(Please note that we will be discussing the actual layout and design of the Arts Centre at our next meeting in April 08.)
