This new period of consultation will focus on engaging broadly with all stakeholders on a number of key topics. Council will undertake parallel strategies of engagement – a community-wide program of engagement about the project and a detailed consultation with key user groups.

The aim of this program is to provide key stakeholder input to Council’s project Concept Design and to the way Bondi Pavilion will be programmed and managed in the future. We will do this by:

• proactively identifying and engaging project stakeholders
• providing accessible project information to project stakeholders.

Project stakeholders include the range of people, organisations and agencies with an interest in the Pavilion and will include but may not be limited to stakeholders such as direct users, the broader community, visitors and the arts and cultural community, government agencies and other interested organisations.

Council will invite community and stakeholder input to improve and refine the project in the following areas:

• Development of a Fair Use policy to provide fair and equitable access to the Bondi Pavilion Cultural & Community Centre
• The appropriate mix of uses on the first floor
• Theatre operations, technology and programming
• Gallery and exhibition space programming
• Music facilities and programs in the building and in Waverley

We will also conduct a program of consultation on heritage interpretation. This will include

• identifying information and artefacts the community has that relates to the history of the Pavilion, and its contribution to the identity of our community, and
• exploring the historical connection of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community with the Pavilion and the area, and identifying opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural activities, art, history, information, education and business to be incorporated into the Pavilion project.

The submissions received in the initial consultation December 2015 – March 2016 will be included in any assessment arising from this further consultation period.
