Street Art Working Group

Purpose

The Street Art Activation Working Group advise the appropriate Committee of Council in respect of street art initiatives in Townsville. The recommendations are informed by outcomes set within the Street Art Activation Framework.

The purpose of this Street Art Activation Framework, endorsed by Townsville City Council, is to provide a breakdown of objectives, opportunities and management strategies for street art activity to occur in Townsville, and outline a clear and thoroughly considered path forward to enable Townsville to become a leader in this field in terms of regional Australian centres.

The Framework sets clear definitions of legal street art, by which the development of street art in Townsville will be undertaken, as well as providing tools for street artists and property owners.
