Lockyer Valley Regional Council is working with Forest Hill Community Development Association (FHCDA) to prepare designs and a project plan for a potential art project on the GrainCorp silos adjacent to the rail line in Forest Hill.
Discussions with GrainCorp and Queensland Rail have been positive with conditional approvals now in place. Formal approvals will be required prior to any artwork installation.
Council and FHCDA have sought feedback from the Forest Hill community, the wider Lockyer Valley Region, as well as potential visitors, on design themes which have been shortlisted based on their alignment with local community history, culture and values.
Community feedback has been collated and analysed (see the Document Library) and will be used to prepare a design brief for prospective artists to submit a design and competence portfolio.
This is a long-term project intended to be undertaken in stages subject to obtaining funding from a range of sources including government, arts, tourism, corporate sponsorship and the community.
You are encouraged to review the various sections of this project engagement portal and interact in meaningful ways as different options open.
