Creative
Communities Scheme
Papakura District Council
administers the Creative Communities Scheme, which is funded by Creative
New Zealand. Creative New Zealand is a central government agency and is
New Zealand’s main organisation for funding of the arts. The
Scheme is a partnership between Creative New Zealand and the Council.
Funding is available for
community-based arts activities in the District from the Creative
Communities Scheme (CCS). The aim of the Scheme is to
increase participation in the arts at a local level and the
range and diversity of arts available to the community.
All New Zealanders are
eligible to apply, but only Papakura residents are eligible to apply for
the District's Creative Communities Scheme. For more information,
