Working with regional businesses and partners, the Western Development Commission has commissioned and completed baseline research to examine the current situation of the creative sector in the Western Region and to identify the issues the sector faces which impact on its future development.

I understand that the WDC intends to engage with stakeholders to identify specific initiatives that can be implemented in 2009 and following years based on the recommendations in the report.
