From 1 July 2025, the Department of Creative Industries, Tourism and Sport (CITS) replaces the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries (DLGSC).
Guiding the growth of Western Australia’s creative industries
The Creative Industries Action Plan is a key deliverable under Creative WA, the WA Government’s 10-year vision for culture, the arts and creativity, and will deliver creative industries outcomes under Diversify WA, the State’s economic diversification strategy.
The action plan will set out a coordinated approach to supporting economic growth across the creative industries, including:
To oversee development of the plan, a Creative Industries Taskforce will be established, bringing together leaders from across the State’s diverse creative sectors, spanning screen, music, design, performance, digital innovation and First Nations arts.
The taskforce will act as champions for the action plan and engage closely with government, industry and education to ensure it reflects the sector’s needs and opportunities. Members will be consulted throughout the development of the plan, ensuring the needs, opportunities and ambitions of WA’s creative community are understood and met.
