Unitywater Executive Manager Strategic Engagement, Joshua Zugajev, said the utility’s services for the community went beyond the provision of safe and reliable water and wastewater services.
“We contribute to healthy and thriving communities by providing artworks that represent the local area and natural environment,” Mr Zugajev said.
“We know the community appreciates that our assets are a crucial part of ensuring we can provide essential services and our art program improves the appearance of these functional assets.”
Artist Kate Vox took on the challenge of designing the artwork and painting the pump station, transforming it into an homage to the wildlife frequently seen in the park. The enhanced pump station now features a family of black Australian ducks, possums, a white-faced heron and a water dragon.
“It’s been the sweetest thing to be able to bring a little bit of Humpybong park alive through these illustrations,” Ms Vox said.
“I feel really grateful to Unitywater that they are taking the time to make their assets not an eyesore but eye-candy for Moreton Bay, the Sunshine Coast and Noosa,” she said.
Unitywater will continue to collaborate with emerging and established local artists to transform operational assets into art across Moreton Bay, the Sunshine Coast and Noosa.
