Public rubbish bins in Byrnes Street will undergo a much-needed makeover soon, with Mareeba Shire Council putting out 45 possible designs for artwork that will give the bins a fresh appearance.
The proposed designs will showcase the history of Byrnes Street with a heritage image from the CBD on one side of the bin while celebrating a selection of the shire’s natural attractions and experiences, with a bright modern image on the other side.
The designs include some with full images, as well as designs with a short historical description.
Council now wants feedback from the community on which designs should be used, with a survey now available on its website until 25 June.
In releasing the designs, council acknowledged the assistance of Mary Thompson from the Mareeba Heritage Museum and Visitor Information Centre for her assistance with the historical images and information.
For more information, please contact council on 1300 308 461.
