This report follows in the footsteps of research conducted between 2016 and 2018 for the City of Sydney Council, which had the principal aim of mapping and analysing the needs of creative venues in the local government area. Extending the case studies to 11 new venues in the Inner West LGA, the research reported here seeks to enhance understanding of the needs and challenges faced by creative space operators in the area. The reported research consists of 11 in-depth case studies of cultural venues/spaces, compiled through observational site visits and semi-structured interviews with 16 space managers and users.
