The Arts and Culture Plan South Australia 2019–2024 prepared by independent consultants for the government’s consideration included a series of 45 recommendations under the plan’s 13 objectives.

The government’s response to each summarised objective is detailed in the pages below with a status update. While the department is progressing each recommendation as a project, a holistic overview of the intent of the Arts Plan is being maintained and the interdependencies and interrelatedness of the projects is being closely monitored.
