Artist Sam Brooks developed the 3D mural concept designs, which received positive community feedback while on display during Local Government Week.
The Stafford Street Water Tower Mural was undertaken by artist, Bastian Allfrey, and officially unveiled in December 2021 The design features sporting activities that can be enjoyed by the community at the nearby Carter Oval Youth Sporting Precinct including swimming, , soccer and skateboarding.
