About the Policy

Strathfield Council has established guidelines to achieve informed and transparent decision making when considering proposed public art projects. The new Public Art Policy will guide decisions in commissioning public art with consideration to the cultural and heritage assets of Strathfield and provide updated guidelines for all relevant stakeholders in the installation of public art in the public domain.

• Aboriginal heritage
• Activation of the public domain
• Relevance and appropriateness to site
• Installation and maintenance
• Sustainability and durability
• Safety and accessibility
• Engagement and partnerships
