Ballina Shire Council has a great arts idea

One of the things often missing from the NSW North Coast living experience is public art.
Most of us have to be content with the odd small, outdoor mural on local government property and little else.
So it was nice to read that Ballina is doing something positive.
 
"Creative pieces of public art are popping up around the Ballina Shire, giving tourists something to gawk at and the locals something to talk about.
The art works are in line with a Ballina council policy aimed at increasing the number of public art works in the Shire.
New commercial, retail and tourist developments worth more than $1 million must include public art to the value of at least $15,000."
