Public Art Policy 2020-2024
Working with our artists and communities to create public art that inspires, welcomes, builds identity and injects creativity into our spaces and places.
This policy articulates our commitment over the next five years to supporting, encouraging and investing in public art. It is a Council-wide approach that expresses our belief in the benefits of art in the public realm and provides guiding principles to support those undertaking to produce, create or stimulate public art in our community.
It addresses our role in public art in 3 key areas:
- Council-led acquisitions and programs
- community initiated projects
- private development and infrastructure projects
An action plan accompanies this policy that sets out the strategic activities to achieve the aims of the policy. This action plan will be reviewed annually. The policy will be reviewed in December 2024.
