RECOMMENDED ACTIONS FOR THE QVMAG

Given that the QVMAG acknowledges the strategic role the institution has to play in regard to tourism in the city/region in general, and cultural tourism in particular, the institution needs to:

1.  Urgently put in place a strategic plan that acknowledges the institution’s tourism role and opportunities and that identifies specific strategies to be acted upon towards realising the institution’s tourism potential; 
2. Urgently work towards the installation of a Tasmanian Aboriginal exhibit that celebrates Tasmanian Aboriginal culture and acknowledges the layering of histories – precolonial, colonial and postcolonial – relative to Tasmania’s Aboriginal community; 
3. Initiate, and seek funding/sponsorships for, a publications program – exhibitions, books, papers, essays, etc. – that explores and interrogates the cultural dimension of Launceston’s/the Tamar region’s/Tasmania’s histories and heritage. 
4. Initiate, and seek funding/sponsorships for a program of events – lectures, conferences, seminars, symposiums, performances, etc. – that focuses upon the city’s/region’s cultural life and that is proactively inclusive.
