This report establishes the indicators within a framework of five theme areas, which broadly reflect key goals for the New Zealand cultural sector and those involved in it. Not all the indicators have been able to be populated, due to lack of data in some areas. The report identifies areas where more information is needed. In the next few years, it is likely that data will be collected to populate some areas highlighted for further development, and new indicators may be introduced as priorities change. It is intended to update the existing indicators as new data becomes available (such as through the 2006 Census).
