Urban murals
Council is working with local artists to commission a range of new works featuring our native plants and animals and aspects of creating healthy, liveable communities.
2024 Mural
This year's mural will follow the theme of working together as a community and living sustainably through active transport/cycling. The mural will be painted at the entrance to the Lindfield Village Green car park, next to newly-installed bike racks. We want to beautify this space and encourage pedal power amongst local residents.
Successful artist!
We are excited to introduce the successful artist for our next public artwork at Lindfield Village Green. We look forward to working with James in coming weeks to develop a concept for the mural that reflects active transport themes in our community and connects to our goal to reach a Net Zero Ku-ring-gai by 2040.

The blurred golden backgrounds are reminiscent of what your eyes do when we focus upon something that captures our attention. The birds and flowers are prominent within the surrounding bushland and give viewers a snapshot into the inhabitants amongst them.
