Nillumbik Shire Council Arts & Cultural Development

The Arts & Cultural Development team of the Nillumbik Shire Council are here to provide information on the arts and cultural services available in The Shire.

We run various programs and projects including: Alan Marshall Short Story Award, The Nillumbik Ekphrasis Poetry Award, Eltham Library Community Gallery Exhibition Program, Laughing Waters Artists-in-Residence, Red Chair Artists Talks and The Nillumbik Prize.

We recognize the web operates 24/7, and your comments are welcome at any time. However, given the need to manage our staff resources we generally only monitor comments and postings during regular business hours.

The simple rules of thumb are to keep on-topic and be respectful of others, but to be clear we thought it useful to spell out a few things that are not acceptable in this space.

By using this site, you agree that you will not post any of the following:

1. Vulgar, obscene or indecent language or images.
2. Personal attacks of any kind.
3. Material which defames, abuses or threatens others.
4. Comments or content that promotes, fosters, or perpetuates discrimination on the basis of race, creed, colour, age, religion, gender, marital status, physical or intellectual disability or sexual orientation.
5. Material that infringes the copyright of another person
6. Material that advocates illegal activity or discusses illegal activities with the intent to commit them.
7. It is acceptable to voice a legitimate concern or grievance but unacceptable to engage in badmouthing or some other forms of written abuse of a person or service. This will be deleted upon discovery.
8. Account suspensions are at the sole discretion of Nillumbik Shire Council.
9. Any person actively using these sites is implicitly agreeing to these rules regardless of whether they have been read or not.
