Bundaberg Regional Council Public Art Proposals

Welcome to the Bundaberg Regional Council's Public Art Proposals online application service, powered by SmartyGrants.

Bundaberg Regional Council will reflect our region’s unique identity through the development and management of a public art program, creating rich experiences for our community and its visitors. Public Art will showcase the Bundaberg Region’s unique identity and history through a diversity of artforms, improved aesthetics, connections to the environment and culture, aligned with future aspirations.

Expression of Interest

Applications to Council for public art will be considered through an online application portal. Council is supportive of a strong Public Art Collection and may encourage, commission, and facilitate the development of quality new public artworks through a tiered approach to public art projects.

When you log back in and click on the 'My Submissions' link at the top of the screen, you will find a list of any applications you have started or submitted.

Once you have reviewed your application you can submit it by clicking on 'Submit' at the top or bottom of the screen or on the navigation panel. You will not be able to submit your application until all the compulsory questions are completed and there are no validation errors.

Once you have submitted your application, no further editing or uploading of support materials is possible.

When you submit your application, you will receive a confirmation email with a copy of your submitted application attached. This will be sent to the email you used to register.
