Last week it was reported that the Berrigan Tidy Towns are looking for community ideas for ‘silo art’ for the water tower opposite the Apex Park.
The committee has received development consent to proceed with artwork on the water tower, and will now start with community consultation to finalise design.
Funding will then be sought through South West Arts and other relevant agencies.
If you have ideas and would like to put them forward, email Carol Cottam on c.cottam@bigpond.net.au or Mark Ryan at equity.park@bigpond.com.
