Light Industry is a six-year arts and manufacturing collaboration being delivered by Feral Arts in the Kunda Park Industrial Precinct on the Sunshine Coast. The project is exploring the role of the arts and creative sector in the economic revitalisation of manufacturing and light industry in Australia. It is seeking transformative investment in Kunda Park based on a new place-based ‘precincts and partnerships’ model, bringing together the three tiers of government, businesses, researchers, local communities and other stakeholders to develop a shared vision for the future, and deliver innovative, optimised, sustainable mixed-use precincts.

Light Industry is being developed as a pilot for a transformative new national arts and manufacturing program, underpinned by the vision of existing industrial precincts across the country being activated and revitalised by a national network of community cultural development workers, embedded in local government.
