Wilton Water Tank Art - New South Wales

The Veolia Treatment Plant water tanks in Wilton have been painted by Joe Quilter and SNARL. These meticulously designed and researched pieces portray local agriculture, our indigenous heritage, flora and fauna as well as the community symbol. They are known as the gateway to the Wollondilly Shire.

Tank 1: Reflects the image of a local dairy farmer and represents the grit of farming, something Australia as a nation, and the Wollondilly in general prides itself on.

Tank 2:  Represents the local Indigenous community - the Tharawal tribe.  The Lyre Bird painted upon it is the Tharawal totem. It also features the eucalyptus flower, which is prominent in the region.

Tank 3: Is  inspired by the photography of Angela Towndrow. It celebrates local fauna like the Wollondilly raptor, which is a bird of prey, It also features the white Waratah which is the Wollondilly Shire's emblem and can be found across the region.
