Seymour has a rich military and rail history and a strong connection to the Goulburn River but something dark and gloomy sits right in the middle of town, a concrete rail underpass. It’s where Seymour's busiest arterial roads Anzac Avenue, Tallarook Street, Wallis Street and Station Street intersect. This underpass has not just one but three rail lines running above it. It’s a road and walkway underpass that connects the north and south of the town. It’s also the entry to Station Street which is the major town retail precinct. The underpass has long been an ugly eye-saw and attracts

The Art attack project will assist in creating town pride and help support town identity and a stronger sense of community. It will attract and improve visitor experience as well as deter vandalism. It allows access and appreciation of art as it’s outside of a traditional gallery with no barriers. The Art Attack project aims to turn the existing concrete underpass into an art installation incorporating street art and some well placed lighting to support safety and town vibrancy. The project will engage with community and street artist on a design that is representative of Seymour.

The Subway is an eyesore. But until you can fix drainage and water coming down from Railway line, any work underneath will be affected by water.

I would love to see the railway underpass receive a face lift. It is in a very ugly state at the moment. It's the first thing you see when enter Seymour's main street. Let's get voting!!
