Stage 2: Visioning

Developing a shared vision

Visioning is a collaborative and empowering process by which a community defines the future it wants. It provides a brief snapshot that lays out a vision for culture and sport in its area. This will then inform the process of setting out the priorities it needs to achieve in alignment with local planning requirements.

a. Engage and involve local communities

b. Define a shared vision for culture and sport
