Project: The Economic Impact of the Brisbane Festival and The Economic Impact of Riverfestival (2004)

Client: Major Brisbane Festivals Pty Ltd

Summary: The Brisbane Festival is a feast of drama, music, theatre and visual arts. Brisbane’s Riverfestival is a combination of arts, science, sport and community environmental and educational activities. The prime purpose of the studies was to augment the festivals financial reporting with information on the economic impact on the local (Brisbane/Morton) region. The festivals were then better placed to satisfy their obligations to stakeholders and the community at large, as well as ongoing promotional and public relations needs.
