REPORT

At its meeting held on March 9 2010, Council resolved that in the interests of transparency of process and equity across Alexandrina’s artistic community, an expression of interest was to be called for a public artwork for the western wall of the Strathalbyn Community Swimming Pool, after an initial submission was received from a local artist . It was further resolved that Council’s Arts and Cultural Advisory Committee would review the submissions and make a recommendation with the final decision to be made by Council. Expressions of interest were called for via the local newspapers as well as the Council’s website.

30.3Strathalbyn Community Swimming Pool Wall Artwork (Confidential)

(continued)

Five expressions of interest were received however, of the five submissions received only two provided a conceptual drawing of their proposed artwork, in spite of it being clearly highlighted in the original brief.

After consideration and discussion by the Section 41 Committee, the recommendation was that the submission from designer Barrie Tucker be recommended for the project.

The committee felt that the Tucker design was sensitive and complimentary to its surrounds without intruding on the existing design of the Strathalbyn Community Swimming Pool wall which is located in a heritage precinct, in addition its "fit" on that particular wall as well as the practicality of maintaining the work and the wall, long term were also considered.

It should also be noted that a Development Application will be required to be lodged and approved for any artwork on that wall in a State Heritage precinct.
