Neighbourhood Stories St Marys
Integrated Cultural Policy Implementation - Award Winner Division C
Neighbourhood Stories St Marys is a groundbreaking initiative of Penrith City Council's Neighbourhood Renewal Program, demonstrating an integrated approach to cultural policy implementation and innovative creative community engagement.
The Neighbourhood Stories process engaged local residents through workshops in a creative conversation with artists, community organisations and local government in the renewal of the neighbourhoods where they live.
Workshops included over 20 hours of new media training to residents, facilitated by CuriousWorks. Residents created multimedia works embedded on Google maps, developing a creative communities channel and online platform for people’s stories and perspectives to be heard.
The project has empowered residents to actively contribute towards integrated policy development making positive change in their neighbourhood.
Raw footage provided data to support Council’s local planning processes and the development of the Neighbourhood Action Plan St Marys.
Furthermore, the initiative built an online platform for the creativity and stories of the Neighbourhood Renewal areas.
