From the Paper:

"In the literature, issues were raised concerning accessibility and, more specifically, the access to cultural products and services of those with an ethnic background. People of Non-Australian Origin are 'likely to have a more positive view of the arts than those without such origin' (Saatchi, 2000,p108). It has been suggested that cultural expansion in this demographic may occur, if art activities which cater for the diversity of national origins of Australians is catered for (Saatchi, 2000). The Willoughby LGA has an expanding ethnic population. Research has suggested that there would appear to be unexplored interest among the population for cultural products and services which 'draw from our diverse cultural origins' (Saatchi, 2000, p35). "
