This opportunity is open to a public art, or visual art response, with preference going to artists that reside or have a relationship with the City of Onkaparinga.
This project is to mark the significance of the Jetty, with the centenary being celebrated by the local community this year. The winning commission should reflect the diverse and constant usage of this structure, from fishing to scuba divers’ access to the reef, walking and even occasional temporary public art.
The work should showcase the natural context in which the jetty sits and the value of it to those who use it both historically and at present. It is a well-used and highly visible landmark at Port Noarlunga for residents and tourists alike.
