The Public Art Policy outlines the methods and criteria for acquiring, commissioning, and maintaining public art to ensure it aligns with community values and strategic goals.
And, to ensure a transparent, consistent, and strategic approach to assessing public art proposals in alignment with the Colac Otway Shire Public Art Policy Council has developed the Public Art Proposal Assessment Guidelines and Procedure.
