Purpose: The Australian City of Salisbury has shown its intercultural commitment through a public declaration and the adoption of an Intercultural Strategic Plan for the period 2017 -2027.
Process:
The City’s commitment to the intercultural approach was demonstrated through the declaration of the Mayor of the City of Salisbury, Miss Gillian Aldrige, when she presented the Intercultural Strategic Plan 2017-2027.
The adoption of the Intercultural Strategic Plan 2017 -2027 also showed the strong commitment from the authorities in Salisbury.
The Intercultural Strategic Plan 2017-2027 is evaluated and updated every year through the Intercultural Strategic Implementation Plan. The evaluation report is prepared by the Division of Community health and Wellbeing of the Department of Community development and reviewed by the Executive annually. This review process is an opportunity to recommend updates or additions to the Implementation plan, as well as amend the priorities assigned to each action.
The majority of the actions for the implementation of the intercultural strategy are funded through the operating budget of the Community Development department, while other actions are either externally funded through State or Federal funding, or are categorised as “resources to be identified” (partnerships and reallocation of internal existing budgets or new initiative bids).
The City of Salisbury has an official webpage where intercultural resources can be easily accessed.
