Consultation has concluded

The City is seeking community input into where, why and what types of public art you would like to see within the City of South Perth.

Public Art is part of our everyday lives - from sculptures to statues to murals, temporary or 'pop up' art - they spark interest, reaction and contribute to the social and culture fabric of the City of South Perth.

Art is also subjective. People have different ideas of what is 'good' public art and how and where it belongs within our community. Now you can contribute and have your say on public art within the City of South Perth.

    The City has revised Policy P316 Developer Contribution for Public Art & Public Art Spaces and the Public Art Toolkit. Policy P316 has been in operation since July 2014 and requires developers of projects with a value of $4 million or greater to contribute towards public art within the City. If approved, the revised policy will:
    • Encourage contributions to the City’s Public Art Fund by offering a discount on the required contribution amount
    • Ensure that large developments diversify their artwork budget allocation, by requiring part of the contribution to be paid into the Public Art Fund
    • Require public art proposals to be assessed against the Qualitative Assessment Criteria set out in the City’s Public Art Toolkit – A Guide for Developers.
    The feedback period for the revised Policy P316 and the Toolkit will close at 5pm, Friday 10 March 2017.
