Werribee Water Tank Art - Victoria

A disused concrete water tower in Werribee that dates back to 1914 was given a new life as part of a Wyndham community arts project, thanks to funding from the Andrews Labor Government.

The 106-year-old water tower on Tower Road at Werribee was transformed into a giant artwork by painting a mural on the tower.

The theme of the artwork highlights the historical significance of the water tower to the local community and to its development of Werribee and surrounds.

The water tower is highly visible and acts as a gateway to Wyndham city, giving it the potential to become a significant artistic and tourist landmark.

This community art project will contribute to the image of Wyndham as a great place to live, work and visit, increasing tourism to Werribee and potentially becoming part of a water tower art trail throughout Wyndham.

Funds from the Community Support Fund support a range of programs, which in turn support a wide variety of projects in the community.
