Derwent Valley Council supports and encourages an awareness and pride in the local sense of place, history and heritage. Council encourages opportunities and resources to showcase pride in our sense of place and our heritage - thus enhancing community pride and cultural tourism. Read Council's Public Art Policy.
Council is committed to public art through:
- Including an annual provision in the budget
- Applying for external funding for projects
- Developing arrangements with local businesses and organisations
- Encouraging developer contributions that include public art
- Utilising opportunities within existing council allocations for street furniture, seating etc.
All paid public art opportunities will be publicly advertised and appointed through a competitive expression of interest process.
