Public Art Policy Implementation
Project Summary
Adopted in 2003, the Council’s Cultural Plan highlighted that whilst there was strong evidence of private art collection and widespread participation by residents as artists and audience in cultural activities, there was little public art or a coordinated approach to the development of public art opportunities. A strategic goal of the Cultural Plan was the development of a Public Art Policy ‘that provides a decision making framework for Council’. A coordinated ‘whole of Council’ approach was then undertaken in the development of a Public Art Policy, which was adopted in October 2006. Implementation began in 2007 through the establishment of a Public Art Advisory Committee (PAAC) comprising of Councillors, local residents and staff. PAAC works with key Council staff from across disciplines to develop opportunities that will result in future significant public art works. The first brief for a significant public art work was released in February 2008.
