Get creative for new city landmark
A site in Springwood has been identified as a possible location for a new landmark artwork that will serve as a symbolic gateway to the
City of Logan.
Expressions of interest from artists and designers are being sought to create an eye-catching vertical sculpture, which could be positioned on the corner of Rochedale and Springwood roads, adjacent to the M1.
The city landmark sculpture is one of 3 public art projects Council plans to deliver after receiving $1.02 million funding from the South East Queensland City Deal Public Art Initiatives program.
The other projects are precinct markers for the Bethania to Logan Village Rail Trail and an art trail linking sites across the city.
Division 1 Councillor Lisa Bradley says creativity and originality must be key to the design of the new city landmark.
‘Whether it is via sculptural form, construction materials or lighting, the goal is to create an impressive, identifiable and memorable landmark that reminds visitors to our city, and locals, that they are now in the unique area of Springwood in the City of Logan,’ Cr Bradley says.
‘I hope the final design also reflects our heritage and strong environmental values.’
