NATIONAL ARTS AND CULTURE ALLIANCE
On Tues 7th December 2004 the Australia Council was presented with recommendations from 'A Future Planning Task Force' formed by Council. Amongst the recommendations accepted by the Council were proposals that the Community Cultural Development Board and New Media Arts be disbanded , that the grants program of the CCDB be apportioned out to other artform Boards. The remaining activities of the CCDB are to be placed as 'Community Partnerships' under the Audience and Marketing Development Division guided by a committee appointed by the Australia Council. This decision has enormous impacts on the community cultural development sector! ccd.net has set up this section to report on strategies and activity and provide forums, give information and set up links to places where you can go to express you views, and have your say and get active!

Memorandum
To: Community Cultural Development Field
From: Community Cultural Development Board Date: 22 December 2004
Re: Dissolution of the Community Cultural Development Board Dear Colleagues, As many of you already know, the Australia Council recently announced a restructure of the organisation. The dissolution of the Community Cultural Development Board (CCD Board) is one of the major changes planned for 2005. The CCD Board has requested a meeting with Jennifer Bott, CEO and David Gonski, Chairman of the Australia Council and the other members of the Taskforce who developed the proposed plan. In this meeting we aim to seek information regarding the rationale for the proposed abolition of the CCD Board, further details on the proposed new structure and an assurance of continued support specifically for community cultural development practice in Australia. The announcement was unexpected and the CCD Board understands that communities, artists and organisations planning for activities in 2005 are now in a precarious position. The CCD Board will issue another memo to report on the outcomes of this meeting in January 2005 but in the meantime, we encourage you to keep in regular contact with the Australia Council. On behalf of the Community Cultural Development Board thank you to you all for your ongoing support. Merry Christmas and all the best for 2005. Chris Tassell, Chair
Community Cultural Development Board
