Responding to strategies for meeting audience needs at three scales plus the borough-wide strategy, this Plan recommends Ealing undertake eight projects for culture as its priority.

The projects recommended are organised across the short, medium and long term. Reflecting the council's role in setting the planning and policy conditions to support culture- as a landowner and asset holder and as a key convener of private and institutional partners- the Plan identifies distinct roles the council will play at different timescales.

In the short term, the council has the opportunity to undertake a series of projects itself. This includes interventions within council-owned assets, physical interventions that can be required in emerging policies and further studies and research that the council can commission to support onward development.

In the medium term, the council can forge strategic partnerships to deliver new spaces and buildings. These may require investment, operation and partnership with external stakeholders.

In the long term, projects should be large scale and transformational. The council will play a critical role in strategic direction-setting, coordinating engagement and identifying and attracting funding, but other major partners will need to drive these projects forward.

The recommended hallmark projects are summarised overleaf and profiled across the next several pages. Each of these projects will require partnership working with cultural institutions, operators, landowners, public sector partners, charities, local organisations and sector experts among others.
