Merrifield Recreation Reserve – Mural Update

Thank you to everyone who took part in the recent community engagement! We had fantastic participation across all age groups, with strong appreciation shown for both mural concepts.

A total of 421 community votes were received, and we’re excited to share that the concept by Melanie Caple received the highest number of votes.

We’re thrilled by the community’s enthusiasm and can’t wait to see this artwork come to life. Installation is currently planned for late January.

Stay tuned for updates as we get closer to unveiling the finished mural!

Thanks
