Decision details

Moved by Councillor Scott, seconded by Councillor Scully -

It is resolved that:

(A)      Council note:

(i)         leading up to Science Week, the Forest Lodge Public School have collaborated with artist and academic, Dr Leo Robba to propose a Painted River Project to understand how the urban environment interacts with the natural world; and

(ii)        the project is intended to contribute to a wall mural designed for a public space to recognise the importance of Johnston Creek in the neighbourhood and the community's interaction with it. The legacy of a public mural would represent the connection between the school community, and local community and environment; and

(B)      the Chief Executive Officer be requested to explore the ability to incorporate the children's art into a public art installation in Glebe, and the City's ability to support the mural's launch through permitting park events and in-kind support.

Carried unanimously.
