Perfect Match

Council plays Cupid again!

Perfect Match is a unique initiative tackling unwanted graffiti through fostering legitimate creative expression and art in public spaces.

The Perfect Match approach brings artists, residents, businesses, property owners and community together to collaboratively create fantastic new street artworks in public places.

Property owners are invited to find their Perfect Match by nominating their wall to be transformed by an artist. Artists submit their designs and ideas.

Council then plays Cupid!
