Acquisition of Outdoor Public Art Pieces
Council has been able to fund the acquisition of several outdoor public art pieces over the last five years. Through the recently adopted Section 94 Development Contribution Plan (which allocates 1% of development contributions toward the acquisition of public art) Council aims to increase its' acquisitions.
