Arts, Culture &
Creativity Strategy

The Whakatāne District Council was launching a new initiative to nurture Arts, Creativity, and Culture in the region and needed a document to effectively communicate this vision to their community stakeholders. The communication strategy was framed through the analogy of a Waka Hauora, with the sails, bindings, and haumi construction symbolising the different elements of the strategy’s approach.
