The Creative Canberra study is a first-phase environmental scan of the ACT creative industries. It aims to present the current state of the creative economy and its unique competitive advantages, and identify the connections, possibilities and opportunities that can be leveraged to ensure the creative industries grow and prosper for the benefit of these industries and for the benefit of the ACT as a whole.

The Creative Canberra is an ACT Government and University of Canberra partnership. It draws on cross-Faculty expertise from four University of Canberra Research Centres.
