Tooleybuc: Have your say on Art Trail sculptures

Published on 06 September 2024

Tooleybuc’s element of the River Country Art Trail project is at an exciting stage with three concept designs for the Mensforth Park sculpture released…. and the public are invited to have their say!

The River Country Art Trail will feature large-scale murals on water towers in Barham, Mathoura, Moulamein, and Moama, along with an impressive large-scale sculpture in Tooleybuc. Together, these artworks will form an exciting outdoor gallery across the Murray River Council area.

Three artists for each site were shortlisted, each presenting bespoke concept designs inspired by community feedback and local themes.

The water tower artwork feedback period took place last month, and now it’s Tooleybuc’s turn.

Specialist consultants FORM, in collaboration with Murray River Council, are bringing the project to life and are asking for community feedback to help shape these artistic landmarks.

Council’s Acting CEO Jack Bond is encouraging residents to take an interest and have their say.

“We’re encouraging the community to take a look at the unique sculpture concepts shortlisted for installation in Mensforth Park.”

“Each design offers something special, and we’d love to know which one people feel would resonate most within the community,” he said

From Friday 6 September to Friday 20 September people can visit Council’s Your Say website to view and provide feedback on the sculpture concepts for Tooleybuc.

There are three concepts to review, and your input is crucial in selecting the final designs that best represent the area.

“The community’s feedback and recommendations are essential to ensure the installation captures the unique identity of both Tooleybuc and the region.” Mr Bond said.
