Artistic Brief Waterways for Wildlife, Anderson Park Mural Boroondara Arts is seeking an artist to transform the ‘rebound wall’ in Anderson Park, 5
Anderson Road Hawthorn East, through a site-specific mural. The artist will need to facilitate
workshops with primary school students to develop and deliver an innovative design with the
theme of Waterways for Wildlife. This theme is to increase community awareness around
environmental suitability and the impact of litter on waterways.
Submissions are welcome from individuals and groups with the intention of facilitating
workshops, designing and painting the mural throughout February - April 2019.
A quote and return brief are to be submitted to Boroondara Arts no later than 5.00pm on
Monday 4 February 2019.
Objectives The transformation of rebound walls throughout Boroondara is an initiative outlined in the
City of Boroondara’s Graffiti Management Strategy 2016 www.boroondara.vic.gov.au,
aiming to:
• discourage vandalism (graffiti and illegal posters)
• improve the appearance of rebound wall
• enhance the community’s engagement with, and enjoyment of the local parks and
streetscape.
Project delivery
The Waterways for Wildlife mural project is to be delivered in two stages:
1. Workshops

• Workshops must have links to Victorian Curriculum F-10: Levels 5 and 6 (VCSSU075, VCCCC0016 and VCAVAP031).
2. Delivery of mural
• Outcomes of student art work will aid in determining the final design of the rebound wall.
• Design will not impede on its main objective for community use and will fit into the landscape of the park.

dimensions of the wall are 8m x 3.3m.
Project co-ordination Day to day management of the workshops will be of the responsibility of the City of
