The property
Address
12-16 Peel Street, Collingwood VIC 3066 (Building only)
Area
131sqm approx.
Condition
All facilities are offered for lease in their current condition. Any approved facility upgrades would need to be funded by the tenant at the tenant's expense, with prior Council approval required, and any works are subject to a Heritage Overlay.
External Façade
A major public artwork by emerging artist Ky-ya Nicholson-Ward, a proud Wurundjeri, Dja Dja Wurrung, Nguarai Illam-Wurrung, German and Irish woman, has been installed on the external of the building. The artwork identifies the cultural importance of the local area to the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people as the Traditional Owners. With a strong focus on Aboriginal identity the mural outlines the local context of the Black Lives Matter movement, which is connected to racism, policing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and associated deaths in custody. The artwork acknowledges the ongoing challenges faced by Aboriginal community members and their struggle to survive white systems, policies and institutions.
