Welcome to the Southern Yorke Peninsula Water Tower Mural Trail!
Yorke Peninsula Council, in partnership with Yorke Peninsula Tourism and the Coobowie, Edithburgh, Stansbury and Yorketown Progress Associations, were successful in gaining funding through the Regional Tourism Bushfire Recovery Grant program, which aims to assist the economic recovery of regions affected by the 2019 bushfires through art projects. This funding has supported the Southern Yorke Peninsula Water Tower Mural Trail project, which has created stunning murals on the SA Water-owned water towers in Edithburgh, Stansbury and Yorketown and the water tank and shed in Coobowie.
Through community consultation, which commenced in September 2020, the Yorke Peninsula community shared their ideas and inspiration towards what they would like to see on each water tower/tank. Artists then had the opportunity to express interest in undertaking the project by pitching their concepts in line with community themes, and artists were then shortlisted. Stage three of the community consultation process involved community members voting on their favourite artist concept. Successful artists, their concepts and the final projects for each town were:
Coobowie
Stansbury
Yorketown
