Mural brightens up toilets
A COLOURFUL mural has transformed a toilet block at Kewarra Beach.
Local artist Violet Shaban (ART and Designer Graphics by Violet) has completed the mural at Pelican Park in Kewarra Beach, supported by Division 9 Councillor Brett Olds.
“In consultation with the Kewarra Beach community and with help from Mel Veivers, Violet drew inspiration from the blues and greens of the local sky, water and trees,” a council spokesman said.
“She was inspired to incorporate beach elements into the design when she stumbled across a pile of shells that someone had collected and left in the carpark.”
Three other sites have been selected for the ‘Neighbourhood Murals Project for 2024'.
They are:
Babinda – Amenities block at Anzac Park, Munro St. Painting due to start this month for completion by early August
Smithfield – Amenities block at Cairns Mountain Bike Clubhouse, 88 McGregor Rd. Painting due to start July for completion by early August
White Rock – Amenities block at Bak Park, Progress Rd (TBC). Painting due to start August for completion by September.
