Discussion Paper - online survey

The discussion paper specifically seeks community views on a set of guiding principles, along with proposed supporting actions. This includes events managed and delivered by the ACT Government, by community groups, commercial event organisers and associations, but does not include business meetings or conventions.

The ACT events policy discussion paper asks for feedback through a series of 30 questions across the following themes:

  • Supporting events that grow the ACT economy
  • Supporting events that deliver strong social and community benefits
  • Supporting events that enhance Canberra’s vibrancy, liveability and sense of place
  • Strengthening Canberra’s position as an ‘event friendly city’.

The survey is broken up into six parts and can be completed below. Questions are optional unless marked otherwise.
