Creative Industries Strategy 2020 – 2024

Identified within the Economic Development Framework (EDF) as a developing sector in the Northern Territory (NT), the creative industries sector has the potential to grow and contribute to innovative economies and communities.

Co-developed by the Chamber of Commerce NT, NT Government and the creative industries sector, the Creative Industries Strategy 2020 - 2024 is the Territory’s first co-led strategy to help grow the sector and its economic benefits, including local jobs.

The strategy was developed through an extensive 12 month consultation process overseen by a Creative Industries Strategy Steering Committee, enabling organisations and key stakeholders from all regions to provide feedback to inform key action items within the strategy.

The five-year framework supports the vision of an innovative sector that celebrates the Territory’s cultural distinctiveness, while enhancing liveability, attracting visitors and growing the economy.

The Creative Industries Strategy 2020 - 2024 provides recommendations across 12 key industry subsectors, identified for their collective economic contribution to the Territory economy:

1. Visual Arts and Crafts
2. Screen, Radio and Broadcasting
3. Advertising
4. Museums
5. Architecture
6. Performing Arts
7. Fashion
