Significant proposed cultural events and activities are referred to the Trust's Arts Advisory Panel.

The Panel advises the Director, Executive and Trust on the suitability of cultural activities or events for all Trust lands. The Panel advises on matters of artistic taste and merit, and provides comment and advice on context, suitability and risk management.
