"It's incredible to see the calibre of talent each of these artists bring to the projects they are working on. They will help transform these spaces into meaningful public places that reflect the character and spirit of our community," said Mayor of Campbelltown, Cr Darcy Lound.
"These public artworks will add lasting value to important projects across the city, enhancing spaces for residents and visitors now and into the future. This program is about delivering more than infrastructure, it's about creating destinations with identity and appeal," Cr Lound said.
Member for Campbelltown, Greg Warren MP said, "Our Campbelltown Community is incredibly unique, and truly special."
