Melbourne Water’s pump station is located adjacent to Patterson River and popular trails that wind themselves through the low-lying wetlands. The dominating grey structure is frequently covered in graffiti and detracts from the surrounding recreational space.

With your support we can turn this blank canvas into a talking point for the community, by attracting artists to transform the site into a vibrant outdoor exhibition to be admired by our community. 4 sides, 4 different artists!

We can both agree that vandalism is ugly and by supporting this project, we can turn this eyesore into something screaming 'wow'!

The mural would deter graffiti vandals and capture the essence of why you and I love where we live, making your morning walk or jog just that little more radiant.

Site: Harbour Town, Patterson Lakes. Approx. dimensions (LxWxH): 7.7x6.53x3.12m.

Thanks,

Tara Broderick and Cameron Howe
